This cannot work. The redirection (">") is a shell feature, but
--command does not start a shell, it only spawns the executable given.
Try:
gnome-terminal --command='sh -c "echo foo >foo.txt"'
or
gnome-terminal --command='sh -c "locale >locale.txt"'

Try setting your LC_CTYPE in /etc/profile (or /etc/profile.local if that
exists). Restart X to make sure gdm (or kdm/xdm) gets restarted.
You could also try to use the "--login" for gnome-terminal.
