If my guess is correct, check your ~/.xsession file.  See if "xa" or "cv"
is loaded there.  IIRC, xa is for communicating with xcin2.3
(kind of like an Xcin Agent?), and cv is for Chinese Viewing (?), i.e. it
intercepts X's display and change the high-bit characters to Chinese no
matter what, kind of like TwinBridge, NanjiStar, Unionway etc. on Windows.
