--- Comment #11 from Lothar <lopa at arcor.de> ---
What do you mean with "default case"? Today, the default encoding is usually
UTF8 where the patch doesn't matter. It works with and without the patch. Only
if the user explicitly specifies a locale with a different character encoding,
then the patch is necessary. I like KDE because it gives me the freedom of
choice between a variety of settings, including the user language and character
map. Why do you want to restrict this freedom in this special case?

I've tested the patch under OpenSuse 13.2 and RHEL7 with the default UTF8 and
with an ISO8859-15 character  encoding and it worked in all cases. Of course
somebody who officially integrates this patch should make additional tests.
