Thanks for your report.

I'd like some additional information:

1) Please email us the contents of the file /etc/locale.gen on your
   system.

2) There are two versions of the GTK+ client, one for GTK+ version 1.2
   and one for version 2.0.  Which one are you using?  If you're not
   sure, just email me the output from ./configure .

3) Please email the output from the commands "locale charmap" and
   "env" on your system.
