good idea!!  ok, there's lots of env var's in there, but no LANG or
LC_ALL or anything like that.

Also, when I try this as an applet:

bash -c "locale > /tmp/applet_locale"

I get "POSIX" for everything instead of "en_AU".  eg.
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
instead of
LC_CTYPE="en_AU"

but from the gnome-terminal (for those who came in late):
$ locale
LANG=en_AU
LC_CTYPE="en_AU"
...

Now what?  Is this a bug?  I assume so.  Any more comments from anyone?
