Indeed - forcing QString::fromUtf8("ß") makes it work as expected.
Good to know =D
(The Qt docu states that QString(const *char) makes implicit use of 
QString::fromAscii())

this would be more like a call to whoever set an objectName/appName using 
utf-8 (and is pretty nasty in it's effect, btw ;-)

Another thing:
the '_' substitution may be ambigious as e.g. "_sen" and "_sen" are the very 
same strings...
i'd suggest to insert _<unicode>_ instead, so "_214_sen" and "_228_sen" remain 
individual (unless not used othwerwise... it's a far corner case anyway)

Regards and thanks for yet another lesson,
