Title:
  ubiquity-kde codepage problem in Timezone map (Timezone.py)

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When installing kubuntu using the Greek language, in the Timezone selection screen,
  there is a tooltip that shows the time and then supposedly "am" or "pm" but in Greek
  case it shows gibberish instead of "πμ" or "μμ".

  The reason is a hidden python str -> QString conversion since QString is latin-1 by
  default.

  One way to solve this problem is to add:

  QtCore.QTextCodec.setCodecForCStrings(QtCore.QText.CodecForName("utf8"))

  after

  class TimezoneMap(QtGui.QWidget):

  at

  ubiquity/frontend/kde_components/Timezone.py

  I would guess that this also affects other languages with non-latin alphabets
  (e.g., Russian). Please fix.
