Hi,

Lately I've been trying out gnome 3 in debian. I usually work without a
desktop environment with just openbox and a bunch of xterms.

Gnome, it seems, is a utf-8 environment, whereas I usually work in
iso-8859-1 (latin1).

In gnome when I reply some french emails with accented chars I
sometimes get weird wide chars in place of the accented characters in
vim. The accented character would appear normally when reading the
message in mutt's pager but become a double character in vim's quoted
text.

Also my own accented characters would appear as ?? to the recipients of
my emails.

What is the best way to configure mutt, vim and xterm in a gnome
setting?

Thanks,
