Yes, it is a no-windows instance inside KDE's konsole because the X emacs
interface is just sooo ugly. Konsole does not strip of the 8th bit, as
EVERYTHING els is working just fine (bash, mcedit, even VI!). The absolutly
only exception is emacs.
And yes, if I change my locale to UTF-8, emacs shall just follow case
without me having to edit the whole .emacs file again.
Maybe I just stick with other editors for now...

Thanks for trying to help on this...
