Yes, with that, XmbTextPropertyToTextList() will translate whatever it
gets to ISO-8859-1. Try nl_NL.UTF-8 and see what happens.
BTW, the reason that you get question marks instead of the apostrophes
is probably that the UTF-8-encoded apostrophe doesn't have a proper
translation in ISO-8859-1. But that's just a guess.
BTW, I use X.org:
X Window System Version 7.1.1
Release Date: 12 May 2006
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1

Current Operating System: Linux lapdog 2.6.18-3-686 #1 SMP Sun Dec 10 19:37:06 U

Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
to make sure that you have the latest version.
Cheers,
