You also need "export LC_ALL=en_US" in your ~/.bashrc or .zshrc (depending
on which shell you're using).
There should be a Gentoo way of setting this. On Debian
dpkg-reconfigure locales
does it for me.

The alpha isn't too usable; some bugs when I checked last.
I've coded for gtk+ before using en_US locale with no trouble. But then
again, I rarely use special characters (e.g. é in comments, etc.) so the
files can just as easily pass from iso-8859-1 to utf8.
The only time I need utf8 is when someone sends me a bizaire email I
can't read. In that case I run
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 xterm
and view it in xterm.
I've run out of free time, so I won't be able to add features. However I
used mrxvt 24/7, so I usually fix bugs that affect me presently.
Thankfully there haven't been any of these in a while...
