Well, the easier patch at the moment seems to be not to call
encodeOutput in DynamicLog.hs.  This doesn't seem to break anything
else.

However, now here's a problem with xmobar, which rather seems to be an
X11 problem.  Certain characters (e.g. \x2192 (right arrow)) still get
mangled.  I was able to verify that they are still intact immediately
before xmobar calls wcDrawImageString to render them on screen.  So
something must be going wrong inside wcDrawImageString.
