Regarding Qt 5 - is it still early enough for bigger changes?
In Qt 4 there is ugly bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165044

This bug was closed wontfix (and because of heated discussion, bug assignee removed himself from cc list), after some time they changed resolution to "upstream" which just means "wontfixed in upstream".

There is also
http://www.macieira.org/blog/2011/09/qurl-in-qt-5-encoding/
where this is going to be fixed in QUrl (if I read it correctly), but Thiago said the same again - file names with broken (non-utf-8) encoding are filesystem corruption and applications creating such files should be fixed.

It's nice theory, but even in 2012 (4 years after the bug was reported) those files still happen to exist. One (not the only one) possible source are archives with old files. This is how I met with this bug for first time. My gf got some slides from professor packed inside a zip file. Once you unzip this file (doplhin - rightclick file - extract here) you get files you can't open, rename nor delete. You can delete whole folder (it's just moved to Trash bin), but you can't empty your trash afterwards. AFAIK all other DE and all other operating systems can handle such files without any problem. Only Qt (and KDE) apps can do nothing with them.

For testing purposes you can generate such files using konsole -> switch to different encoding (like iso-8859-2), and create some file using non-ascii letters and try to do anything with such file in doplhin.

I hope there is still a chance to fix this Qt bug.
