Due to the way the POSIX filesystem layout works (which Linux implements),
filenames cannot have the / character, as it is used as a directory separator.

So what is happening is the the filename really *is* foo%2fbar.txt (or
whatever).  I think in KDE 3 konqueror had code to automatically convert
filenames that you typed into a URL-encoded form if it wasn't supported by the
filesystem, and then show the decoded form.  But I'm not able to get konqueror
to do it with my KDE 4.3 install, so that code may have been removed.

This is not an encoding issue, the filename never actually had slashes in it,
you're seeing the real filename now.  I'm not sure if the behavior was changed
on purpose or not, but I never thought it was a good idea to URL encode the
filenames.
