           Summary: encoding problem in KToolInvokation::kdeinitExec
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: 4.1
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kdeinit
        AssignedTo: kdelibs-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jowenn at kde.org


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

If I invoke from kate from a shell
"kate --start "öäüß" the session is correctly named with the German umlauts

If the same is tried with
KToolInvokation::kdeinitExec("kate",args);
the session name kate gets is garbage. It looks like kdeinit interprets utf-8
as latin-1 and converts that back to utf-8.

kDebug<<args; displays the umlauts correctly, and displaying the second
argument in a message box looks okay too, so I'm sure the encoding of the
arguments, I'm passing to kdeinitExec is correct.

How to reproduce it:
Create a session with umlauts in kate.
Try to open it with the kate plasma session runner or the kate plasmoid.
