More or less, yes.
The discussion mentioned above was about setting '*VT100*locale'
resource to true, but if you write a lxterm wrapper this is a different
story, You can get the value returned by 'locale charmap', call uxterm
when UTF-8, koi8rxterm when KOI8-R and xterm otherwise, this should work
just fine.
