Hi and thanks for clarification.

1) My approach was to use another file manager in order to
fix broken file names, so just replace dolphin.

2) Yesterday, I had a malformed file name, and in Dolphin it
was not possible to copy it to another folder. However, I
could open that (PDF) file from Dolphin into Okular, then
I saved a copy as new file, and could also remove the
file with broken file name from within Dolphin.

dolphin --version
Qt: 4.8.2
KDE: 4.8.4 (4.8.4)
Dolphin: 2.0

But this was no Umlaut. Just double checked, and still malcoded
Umlauts are displayed like <?> and transscribed like this when
you drag&drop file names to non-KDE applications or Konsole.

Rather than sending plain (flatterned) file names to KDE apps,
it could be considered to sending direct inode references 
within QT/KDE applications, couldn't it?

3) Next test: I installed xfe (+package xfe-i18n) as alternative
file manager. Interestingly, xfe displays "broken" umlauts
correctly (auto detection?), and passes the file name
string correctly to xpdf, so the file opens as it should.

But right you are: No chance to send it to okular.

Accordingly, file names have actually to be fixed before
they will work with KDE. 

Is there a bug, "KDE can't handle file names beyond official encoding"?
There should probably be some legacy switch for this support, as
filenames containing binary code might compromise applications
when parsing them from environment.

Kind regards
Ralf
