Ari,

Thanks for your assistance with this bug; please see my follow-up to the
sumbitter.

Your first suggestion was wrong -- I don't know of a single case where just
"ISO-8859" is accepted -- but your parenthetical was fine.

You can consult the X11 files:

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.dir
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias

and the glibc files:

/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
/etc/locale.alias

...to determine what locale names are supported by these systems.

A recent big SVN commit (r1731) adds a tremendous amount of parity between
X11 and glibc on Debian.
