Not might. It is a problem. I've reported it at x.org quite some time
ago, no reply from them.

A workaround is to fully qualify your locale with the codeset name (e.g.
en_US.UTF-8) -- it probably allows you to assume that X'es idea of your
encoding is consistent with glibc (and via glibc with qt, gtk+, among
others).

I mean, how difficult is it to call nl_langinfo(CODESET), instead of
reading an "alias" list?
