My congratulations for the mind behind Qt 4 encoding design. Not adding support for broken encoding names is as brilliant like desing a car only for cities and highways, that stops every time you drive for a road.

KDE 4 is an eyecandy desktop, but not a rock solid desktop for production. This bug, an all related to connecting to servers not working in english UTF-8, confirm this point.

I now really understand why Gnome was been using as default desktop in corporative linux distributions. Think in a spanish corporation, with thousands of old zip files and hundreds of workers with this problem.
