But I rememer that auto-completion in Kmail did not work for addresses
in Kaddressbook, and I'm pretty sure I read about this in a bug report.
And that it's fixed now, which I can confirm. My friend who quit KDE4
also experienced this problem, but with a rather old version of KDE4 at
that time.

At least Kmail autocompletes the name.

Hmm, normally I do not know the name of 'somefile'. But I did not know
about kioclient, that's a nice utility that will come handy I think!

I have an ftp://user@host/directory/ URL, the file name I don't know
until I look into this directory. Dolphin shows the file with the
correct name (including the umlaut), but insists the file does not exist
when I try to download it. gftp show the file name in the remote folder
as empty, but it is able to download the file. Dolphin now replaces the
umlaut in the local file with a question mark in a black diamond, and
still is not able to do anything with it.
My system is UTF8, the files with umlauts are latin1. The shell also
does not show the umlaut in the file name, it is replaced by two
question marks. But I can access it by using tab completion or
wildcards. Or I convert it with convmv -f latin1 -t utf8.
