I did a "dpkg-reconfigure locales" and selected hu_HU.utf8 also. After
this "uxterm" starts normally and works correctly. Starting locale
from "uxterm" reports the following settings:

$ locale
LANG=hu_HU.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=hu_HU:hu:en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="hu_HU.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="hu_HU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="hu_HU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="hu_HU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="hu_HU.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="hu_HU.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="hu_HU.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="hu_HU.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="hu_HU.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="hu_HU.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="hu_HU.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="hu_HU.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
$ locale -a
C
hu_HU
hu_HU.iso88592
hu_HU.utf8
hungarian
POSIX
