Hi, this comes from Debian Bug#353058 (http://bugs.debian.org/353058) submitted by Grégoire Druant <g.druant@gmail.com>. It was reported against amaroK 1.3.8, but I've verified it happens in 1.4-beta1+r511476. The description of the problem is simple: in latin locales (i.e., `locale charmap` returns ISO-8859-1 or similar), while accented characters are displayed properly in the Context tab, they're wrong ("utf8ized") in the konqueror sidebar. Check this screenshot: http://people.debian.org/~adeodato/tmp/2006-02-21/amarok-sidebar1.png In UTF-8 locales (i.e., `locale charmap` returns UTF-8), this is not reproducible. Thanks.
