Severity: important

0) changed system locale with `dpkg-reconfigure locales` from
en_US.ISO8859-1 to ca_EN.UTF-8
1) created a text file with accented characters:
éééééééé
2) verified that this is an UTF-8 using `file`
ngadamri@ricky:~$ file eacute-utf8.txt
eacute-utf8.txt: UTF-8 Unicode text
3) notice that the output is incorrect when opening UTF-8 file with
kwrite and kate:
ééééééééé
4) With the File > Open dialog, I can see at the top right that the
editor currently expects iso8859-1 files
5) if I just start the kwrite, File > Open also expects iso8859-1
instead of utf-8
6) The config file for kwrite contains the line `Encoding=ISO 8859-1`.
Deleting the file ~/.kde/share/config/kwriterc corrects the problem.
7) more:
share/apps/kate/metainfos:Encoding=ISO 8859-1
share/apps/kate/metainfos:Encoding=ISO 8859-1
share/config/katerc:Encoding=ISO 8859-1
share/config/kilerc:Encoding=ISO 8859-1
share/config/quantarc:Default encoding=ISO 8859-1
Should it be necessary to manually delete the file? Why does it keep an
Encoding directive?

Thanks for clarifying this. I'm guessing anyway that this situation
should not occur very often - few users will switch from one locale to
the other. But it does make it harder to push everyone toward UTF-8...
Thanks!
