Please note QUrl::fromEncoded returns a QUrl. QUrl::fromPercentEncoding 
returns a QString. That's the difference.

Your code above also calls the QUrl constructor taking a QString, which is a 
big no-no in Qt 4 code, but entirely acceptable in Qt 5.

On the other hand, if you have any percent sequences not making UTF-8, 
QUrl::fromPercentEncoding will mangle them.
