The files wich had extended ASCII chars in it now didn't show that chars and 
the following char, that's ok, I selected, rename it (F2 or right click 
menu), and after that, when I finish, konqueror says that the file doesn't 
exist, obviosly, it's having problems to deal with the old chars in this 
UTF-8 mode, is this a bug or a feature ?
