Note that "LANG" is the i18n-related variable with the lowest priority; so if some LC_* variable is defined, the value of LANG can be ignored, you should never trust it on a glibc system. Instead, if you want to be sure, you should set LC_ALL and LANGUAGE (that one for the translation of the interface of the programs) > with my modest change.

It depends on the distribution, and on the programs (programs using unicode internally and querying the keyboard directly in utf-8 are more or less independent of the system locale setting; those querying the keyboard in the current locale won't be able to allow input of chars outside the scope of the encoding of the locale) > I mean, it correctly rotates through the keymaps I have defined.
