Hi all,

When I upgraded xfree86 pacages to 4.2, most X applications
can't display japanese text.

XFree86 4.2 has changed it's default to support XLocale.
With XLocale, X applications can use locale even if system does
not support locale. But those applications must be re-compiled
with new X, because X applications builded without XLocale are
incompatible with XLocale.

There are two ways to solve it. One is disabling XLocale
in xfree86 package and another is fixing each package to work
with XLocale.

First one seems easy, but we can't disable XLocale of system-xfree86.
Second one seems difficult, but as long as gtk/gnome applications,
only gtk+ package seems to need modification and rebuiding, other package
using gtk+ doesn't need rebuilding.

Yes, I know the third way. Apple support locale in libc. But it seems
hopeless for a while because there are no changes in either locale code
in Darwin CVS or Darwin bug report(#2752682) for a long time. :P

Any ideas?
