Before asking for help about a command-line, type:
unset LC_ALL
export LC_MESSAGES=C

That sounds like good advice, but then the "user" (the person asking for help)
needs to know how to restore his system, so instructions should be included to
do that.
"Afterward, simply exit from this terminal." None of these changes are
permanent.
An even simpler set of instructions would be:
1) Open a new terminal, or run a new instance of your shell.
2) export LC_ALL=C
3) Run your comands. Paste the commands and their results into the body
of your email.
4) Exit from this shell/terminal.

present i got xfce4 going again! going this morning!
