IMO yes! The correct name is ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. Its  
contents is XML. In the Developer Tools metapackage you can find  
Property List Editor (in /Developer/Applications/Utilities). Apple  
has a short support document on this: http://developer.apple.com/qa/ 
qa2001/qa1067.html. You can create the file and its directory from  
the command line (Emacs' *shell* buffer):

        defaults write "${HOME}/.MacOSX/environment" LC_ALL el_GR.UTF-8

and write more into the file. To activate the new environment you  
have to log off and in again.

So removing MULE seems to have cured your problem?

SPC is not particularly Greek ... but this:
