Description Adeodato Simó 2006-02-21 03:56:24 UTC 
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.
