That is to be expected. some programs are not as locale friendly as they like 
to think themselves to be - mostly they simply check the locale against a 
list of known values and complain horribly if something is a bit outsize 
known parameters.

One solution might be to return sysconfig/i18n to its former settings (and as 
Tzafrir noted- en_GB is usually better then en_US, as the brits are a bit 
less dumb then the yankies and do have metric measurements like normal 
people), and then put some script into /etc/X11/xinit.d that will set the 
appropriate LC_CTYPE just for the X session.
On second thought, that would fuck up perl running inside a konsole. oh well.
