Thanx for that, it gave me enough to track down what seems to be a 
solution: 
 
On Debian, I used 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' and checked the UTF 
versions of the locales I support and set EN-AU-UTF-8 as my default. 
 
The filenames don't display right yet -- lots of underscores and one 
or two chinese chars -- but I think it is now a problem of translating 
the old zh_CN.GB2312 format filenames to UTF-8, and I'll take that to 
a more appropriate list if I can't google it. 
 
Sorry I didn't put this query on KDE-Linux where it should have gone. 
I didn't realise it was a Linux-specific issue. 
 
Regards, and thanks to everyone for help,
