[SOLVED] Non english chars kdemod 4 problem

Question

Hello, I have a little problem with KDE and the non english charactes.
If I open a file with non english chars in its name I get something like this:
(In this case kwrite opens "other" file but in other applications it fails with an error of file not found)
Other sympton is that in KDE menu my name have bad chars too:
(It must be López)
And the third sympton is that if try to rename a file in the desktop, I can't write accented chars (á é í ó ú). At the begining the keyboard in this rename dialog was totally in english but i have got a semi spanish keyboard (i can write ñ letters) with the apropiate /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi file.
But the most strange is that in general, in all Kde and non-kde applications and even in the console, non english chars works ok. I can go to the file->Open menu of the application and open a file with non english chars in its name. The problem seems to reside in the part of kde that passes the name of the file to the application (¿kwin?)
my locale is es_ES@UTF8 and as I said I have configured correctly the 10-keymap.fdi file.
I have read in some forums that something like this could be a kde or qt bug, but for me it's not clear as i don't see a general complaining about this.
Any idea will be apreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Christian.

That should be "es_ES.utf8"
Sorry, i mispelled it in the post.
Of course, my locale is es_ES.utf8:
LANG=es_ES.utf8
LC_CTYPE="es_ES.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="es_ES.utf8"
LC_TIME="es_ES.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="es_ES.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="es_ES.utf8"
LC_PAPER="es_ES.utf8"
LC_NAME="es_ES.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="es_ES.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_ES.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_ES.utf8"
LC_ALL=
I don't think this could be the source of the problem, because, except in the places I said in the firs post, the rest of my system works perfectly.
