But is it really a FreeBSD issue? I used to think that LC_* were complete 
no-ops on FreeBSD, but it seems I was wrong:

[lofi at kiste]:0:~ > locale
LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-15
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.ISO8859-15"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.ISO8859-15"
LC_TIME="de_DE.ISO8859-15"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.ISO8859-15"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.ISO8859-15"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.ISO8859-15"
LC_ALL=

[lofi at kiste]:0:~ > env LC_COLLATE=C locale
LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-15
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.ISO8859-15"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_TIME="de_DE.ISO8859-15"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.ISO8859-15"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.ISO8859-15"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.ISO8859-15"
LC_ALL=

Why does this not translate to GTK+?
