Probably not, because if I remove all my .x* files
and keep just the .Xdefaults -> .Xresources which
specifies the UTF8 locale for xterm, the same thing
happens in (the default) fvwm. Namely,
the xterm started by default has XTERM_LOCALE=C,
and every xterm started from fvwm's menu has XTERM_LOCALE=C,
but every xterm I start as `xterm` (from another xterm)
has XTERM_LOCALE=cs_CZ.UTF-8, as specified in.Xdefaults.
Why is that? Am I missing something obvious?
