Since lxterminal picks up the encoding from the LC_* environment when it is
launched, and doesn't provide a menu to change it like Firefox and
gnome-terminal, when users ssh to different servers, if the server's LC_* is
different from their own host, though they can change server's LC_* like:
export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" to avoid garbled characters of applications'
output, but the file name on that server (if there is Chinese characters in
it) will still be garbled. Another is when we telnet to a bbs site, maybe it
is GBK encoding, but currently most GNU/Linux has a default UTF-8 encoding,
then we can't see charaters corrently.

Thanks.
