Along those lines, how *do* you tell the system it should assume UTF-8 (or any other encoding) globally? My Gnome setup seems to be mostly there - Evolution, Gedit, etc are happily using it, but gnome-terminal seems to believe that the current locale is "ANSIX-3.4 1968" (although commands actually running in the terminal are writing UTF-8 (as per LC_ALL).
