Problems with KDE_stat on systems where the default locale is not utf-8

Hi,
When QFile::encodeName() can't convert an unicode character into the
system locale (== all locales except utf-8), the non-convertable
character is replaced by a question mark. Now that the filename is
broken, KDE_stat() can't do anything usefull and fails.
For me looks like KDE_stat() and others are broken by design (when
system locale is not utf-8) and we need a unicode version of KDE_stat().
Any ideas how to fix this issue? Maybe a new class KLocalFile which
wraps all KDE_foo functions?
