[Qt-interest] Problems with QFileDialog 4.7.1

Using Qt on Windows and moving to 4.7.1 I've noticed a few things with 
QFileDialog.  It appears that if I set the initial directory to a UNC 
path that the UNC part is case sensitive.  This would be a bug on 
windows, I think.  If I use the static file dialogs that in turn uses 
the native file dialog, this is not a problem.

Has anyone noticed this?  I will check the bug list and see if it needs 
to be posted.

Also, it seems slow to populate the tree when connecting to a UNC path. 
  It seems like it's still trying to stat all of the directories in the 
path.

And just as a side point, we're using QDir::cleanPath() and this 
function seems to change the \\ in a UNC name to //.  This still seems 
to work when used with QFileDialog but I think that it's not correct for 
windows.
