Fisrt, why is it not an option ;-?  Can't samba be told to recode the
names from UTF-8 to iso8859-8?  I'm not updated on samba 3.0 but AFAIK
it should support it well, perhaps even samba 2 will be OK.

Second, konqueror should show files according to the current locale.
What does ``locale`` show you currently?  Try exporting ``LANG=he_IL``
and/or ``LC_CTYPE=he_IL`` and check how it works with konqueror.

If I don't hack on it, who will?  And if I don't GPL it, what am I?
And if it itches, why not now?  [With apologies to Hillel ;]
