can't seem to get pydict to work

[Glenn Becker <glenn@icarus.usanetworks.com>]

I'm sure it's something simple, but PyDict always displays garbage
characters rather than Chinese. Stardic works fine ... what might I need
to set to get PyDict to display Chinese correctly?

Backstory note: before I killed xa+cv from my X environment, PyDict was
one of the apps that "died" whenever I tried to interact with it (Mozilla
and a couple of other apps behaved similarly: they would work fine when
invoked from the commande line).

Thanks,
