Bug Description

Binary package hint: konqueror

Konqueror seems to assume ISO-8859-1 for all remote connections via SSH. This results in Gibberish for users of non-Latin languages. As every Linux distro that I have tested in the past three years defaults to UTF-8 for every locale, Konqueror should either:
1) Assume UTF-8
2) Assume that whatever is used locally (check system locale) is used remotely.
3) Query the remote server for locale (simply run "locale" upon connecting via SSH). This is probably not possible for FTP connections.
