Comment 1 for bug 951716

There is some weirdness about comparing QStrings and unicodes:

>>> u'a' == QtCore.QString(u'a')
True
>>> u'á' == QtCore.QString(u'á')
__main__:1: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal
False
>>> u'á' == unicode(QtCore.QString(u'á'))
True

Therefore, whenever we compare unicode to strings we get from Qt (like using widget.text() or whatever), we need to manually convert the QString to unicode prior to comparison.

These 9 tests fail on spanish because they are the 9 strings we are comparing that have non-ascii characters in them. In other locales other tests may fail.
