Sorry, but that breaks if the locale somehow changes. The solution I see to this is to make the UTF-8 encoding valid only for the text entries in the Desktop file. All file paths (as well as possibly commands) would be 8-bit encoded. That matches the file URI spec. One could want to pass binary data to a command, for instance. I will add, though, that this solution I presented above will very likely break in KDE and we will probably not follow it. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago (AT) macieira.info - thiago (AT) kde.org PGP/GPG: 0x6EF45358; fingerprint: E067 918B B660 DBD1 105C 966C 33F5 F005 6EF4 5358
