A) local xterm started from menu via a plain Exec xterm

UTF support works perfectly
Is LANG set? What is the output of the "locale" command?
LANG is not set in such xterm, and locale returns all POSIX. However
everything works perfectly !!
However I can see that my .login contains a setenv LC_CTYPE en_US.UTF-8
(this was a tentative I did a while ago). It should not matter since
individual shells/ xterms should NOT execute .login (and in fact LC_CTYPE
is not set).
I have no idea whether fvwm or whatever is the lead X process in the
complex SuSe X login do execute .login.
