xfe display the file and directory names correctly together with creation date and time (simple 'ls' does not; it shows double question marks in the place of Hungarian characters. 

ls | od -c  

shows that such characters are represented in ls output as two characters e.g. 241 253 or such, I can test again but now I do not remember the exact numbers; the first of the two is the same for all Hungarian characters)

This application displays and handles those diretories and files perfectly, but as soon as I want to open such a file with double click on it  (I set xfe to invoke libreoffice in this case) libreoffice still refuses to open the file.

What do you mean by "handling and displaying properly"? Listing (directory contents) is one thing, being able to stat or open the file is different.
