Wait until XFree86 3.3.6, which Overfiend should package for Debian as soon
as 3.3.6 is released.  Meanwhile,
edit /usr/lib/X11/locale/locale.dir manually and add the line:

	zh/XLC_LOCALE	zh_CN.GB2312

(I'm pretty sure it *isn't* there, and that's what's causing the problem.

Yes, we know about the problem already, although I am awefully tardy/lazy in
sending Overfiend the patches for /usr/lib/X11/locale/locale.dir and for
zh_CN.GBK locale etc. etc.  :-)
