Thank you very much for your words.

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.

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).

Thanks again,
-- Alex
