It should avoid the problems on Linux and it looks more safe than the
previous code => put back the String->OUString conversion and pushed
into both 3-5 and 3-6 branches:

It would be great to get this into 3-6-3 release. Two more approvals are
needed.

I hope that Andras will check it once he is back from the SUSE
