Bug in kio_settings, fixed by encoding UDS_NAME correctly.
The effect of the bug was quite unexpected and seemed far from where the bug was,
due to the logic in CopyJob::slotEntries when fileNameUsedForCopying comes from the url:
to determine the destination filename we count the number of slashes, so that "<full source url>/subdir/myfile"
becomes "<destination url>/subdir/myfile". So the '/' in the name was the reason for the destination
filename being <Desktop>/kde/language.desktop as seen in the error message.
