Sounds horribly broken to me.

Qt and KDE are unicode and so should libkopete be. The only places where I 
consider non-unicode strings ok is _IMMEDIATELY_ before they are sent over a 
wire that doesn't understand unicode (IRC, ICQ, ...) or saved to a file that 
is read by other applications that don't understand unicode.

Every other occurrence of a non-unicode string in Kopete is a bug as far as 
I'm concerned that should be fixed, not worked around by moving the encoding 
stuff deep into libkopete (where it can and likely will cause similar bugs as 
well anyway).
