[kde-freebsd] system:/media/cd0 and volume_label not latin symbols

Over all that I forgot to point out why lack of collation support in the
UTF-8 locales actually matters anyway.

Take for instance the Lithuanian locale:

FreeBSD has locale definitions for
lt_LT.ISO8859-13, lt_LT.ISO8859-4 and lt_LT.UTF-8.
r
Lithuanian alphabet:
a ą b c č d e ę ė f g h i [...]

$ setenv LANG lt_LT.ISO8859-13
$ touch a ą b c č d
$ ls
a ą b c č d
$ rm *
$ setenv LANG lt_LT.UTF-8
$ touch a ą b c č d
$ ls
$ a b c d ą č
          ^^^
         wrong!

And that's a rather big oops - at least for Lithuanians. So I don't think
you can really recommend everyone to switch their legacy locales to UTF-8
just yet.
