Bug#311396: kopete: IRC, UTF-8 channel names displayed incorrectly

[Jukka Suomela <suo@iki.fi>]

Package: kopete
Version: 4:3.3.2-5
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

Kopete displays IRC channel names with non-ASCII UTF-8 characters incorrectly.

Steps to reproduce:

 - Configure an IRC connection, choose UTF-8 as the character set.

 - Join an IRC channel with non-ASCII UTF-8 characters in its name.

 - Add the IRC channel to the contact list.

The right channel is joined, i.e., Kopete translates the entered
channel name correctly to UTF-8 when joining the channel. However, the
channel name in the window title, the name in the contact list, etc.
are displayed as if raw UTF-8 octets were interpreted to be Latin-1
characters.
