It looks like your locale is not set for X applications. As I
understand you set locale in .bashrc. This file will not be read and
run by X server if you are using xdm, kdm or simular X login manager
to start X in most setups. So bbkeys, blackbox or other X programs
started by X login manager after login will not have locale set
properly.
