<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">QFile::encodeName() seems equal to QString::toLocal8Bit(), ::decodeName() to ::fromLocal8Bit()
I don't think one can just drop one of them and whether transcoding is required probably depends on what is done to the string interim.
If at all "KToolInvocation::klauncher()->setLaunchEnv()" would perform a second decode, so it probaly depends on what that does.
Was "locale charmap" determined by the reporter in the bug?

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">encodeName/toLocal8Bit is used to encode a unicode string to a c-string/byte-array representation and decodeName/fromLocal8Bit does the reverse.
The proper decoding is already done in QFile::decodeName above and the QString already has the right unicode string in it.
Basically, QString is not a wrapper of arbitrary c-string/byte-array, rather a wrapper of a unicode string so whatever done to a QString before or after should assume it is a valid unicode string and is independent of what encoding (utf8 in the case of dbus) is needed afterward.
Encode to a byte array and cast it back can only cause wrong encoding in the second conversion and will not affect what is done in setLaunchEnv.

P.S. for a patch that applies to both KDE4 and KF5(master for kde-workspace, frameworks for kdelibs?) How should I submit review request? Should I add both in branch or submit two review request? (But often the patch cannot apply directly due to context or file path changes).</pre>
