Title:
  getFileNames corrupts file names that use "special chars"

Bug description:
  This is a little bit of a strange one. I have written a little script
  which demonstrates this (I'll include it when I get home).

  
  Here's the issue:

  Use QFileDialog.getFileNames() to select a single file with a special
  char in its name (a '#' will do it) and it returns the file name &
  path correctly. Ie selecting a file called "#123.xml" returns a list
  with one item "#123.xml"

  However, use QFileDialog.getFileNames() to select multiple files with
  at lease one file with special char in its name (a '#' will do it) and
  it returns the file name & path incorrectly. Ie selecting a file
  called "#123.xml" and a file called "abc.xml" returns a list with two
  items "%23123.xml" & "abc.xml" (Note the # has been changed in to a
  %23. Possible url encoding?)

  When we come to open the file, Python cannot find the file
  "%23123.xml" because it does not exist.

  This seams to be a Qt bug (I've done a few searches, but found
  nothing) but we could at least make some effort to see if the file
  actually exists before trying to open it!
