[Solved] locale issues with Xorg or GCC, garbage in shell.
When I use the en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 locale (the only one enabled in /etc/locale.gen, I get garbage from programs, for example:
daf666@pazuzu ~/Desktop
$ gcc lala2.c -o lala2 -Wall
lala2.c: In function â:
lala2.c:12: error: expected â before â
When using en_US ISO-8859-1, it becomes OK in the shell, but other problems happen in Xorg applications:
daf666@pazuzu ~/Desktop
$ gcc lala2.c -o lala2 -Wall
lala2.c: In function 'printargs':
lala2.c:12: error: expected ';' before 'printf'
daf666@pazuzu ~/Desktop
$ tcpjunk -x(process:13184): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
It seems that no specific locale solves this conflict, even if I enable them both... any ideas?

I suspect the terminal emulator you are using does not support UTF-8. Do you have the same behavior in a terminal emulator which supports unicode, such as urxvt?

The uxterm script sets up xterm to use UTF-8 locale.
