lee@cat:~$ locale
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_COLLATE="en_US"
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_PAPER="en_US"
LC_NAME="en_US"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US"

LC_ALL=
I tried it with de_DE.ISO-8859-1, and it didn't work, either.
But when I gave up trying to get it to work and started to answer the

even xterm shows them now.
