[Bug 1299881] Re: [kubuntu] Strange characters in different locale

[Harald Sitter]

pyqt4's qstring to pystr conversion is entirely broken

possibly revert:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/python-qt4/trusty/revision/1.8.1#qpy/QtCore/qpycore_qstring.cpp

(which apparently is broken with some other cases, but that should have
been the code we used in 13.10, so it probably won't be worse than
that).

possible fix proper fix::

(unapproved and unverified by upstream, but solves the particular issue
at hand)
