    Description

      In a recent trace we noticed that QWidget::setWindowTitle() (called my
      MApplicationWindow) needs more than 200ms. In the end it turned out that this was a corner case and normally the
      call needs ~15ms.

      The problem lies in qstring_to_xtp() in qwidget_x11.cpp. It seems as if the
      call to QTextCodec::codecForLocale() does blocking X calls
      _XlcResolveLocaleName and _XlcRCreateLocaleDatabase. If X is busy with
      something out whole app is blocked.
      Do we really need these calls? In the code we find this comment:
      // ### If we knew WM could understand unicode, we could use
      // ### a much simpler, cheaper encoding...
      I guess mcompositor understand unicode, doesn't it?
