Okay I'll repeat: because everything else is using their own toolkits while xev and Wine talk directly to X Server using raw X11 protocol. It means that Wine *depends* on the correctly configured XFree86 and just can't compensate if XFree86 fails to work in the particular locale. > Can you please explain again how the other applications do this miracle?
