Alexander E. Patrakov, Ken Moffat, Thank you very much for your words.
Alex: >> I upgraded FlashPlayer from 7 to 9, ... >> Ever since, when I come back from the Web to command line I get a ton of >> "Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and >> is not UTF-8" >> ... if I set G_FILENAME_ENCODING to UTF-8 everything quiets down. >> Obviously, I'm a little nervous about the potential side effects.

Interesting point in itself. I'll do some more research on it. As far as how LC_ALL affects Flash-9 annoying messages, is seems that no matter what, I'll always get them if G_FILENAME_ENCODING is not set exactly to the "UTF-8" string. Alexander: >> but if you save a file from any GTK2 app and then try to "ls" it in the >> terminal, >> the file name will be shown incorrectly if it contains any non-ASCII >> character. Sure. The "UTF-8" business was just for argument's sake. >> please ignore this stupid and pointless warning. I'm among those who always prefer the "ignorance is bliss" state of mind but, unfortunately, now on exit from XFree86 all I get is a screen-full of this warning nonsense. Not really a big Tragödie but before, friendly messages like << XFree86 Version 4.6.0 ... BScreen::BScreen: managing screen 0 using visual 0x23, depth 24 waiting for X server to shut down >> were not obscured and they used to give me a very comfy feeling (for some reason).
