Comments about #129667 (fails to convert compund text into locale string when copy and paste)

Hi,

the 3 merged bugreports #122039, #129667 and #131351 are about galeon
crashes when trying to cut'n'paste.  #129667 contains the error message
   Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
(the locale in question was en_GB.ISO-8859-1, not supported by XFree86 4.1.0)
and in #131351 submitter seemed to be using LC_CTYPE=en_GB.iso8859-15.

So the problem is that those users have a locale not supported by X,
and trying to paste text in such a case does not make sense.
IMO you can tell submitters to use supported locales and close these bugs.

But #131351 tells us that some people are using a "en_GB.iso8859-15"
locale.  XFree86 4.3.0 introduced some aliases for en_GB.ISO8859-15,
but not en_GB.iso8859-15 and I checked that it is indeed not supported.
You should then certainly add such an alias.
