Thanks for explaining the above. However, I think that we should get  
this issue also solved upstream as most systems work on UTF-8 basis  
and the more local encodings are rather historical than  
current-state-of-the-art.

Let's leave this bug open and address it for 3.6.x of nx-libs instead  
of dealing with it as a Gentoo specific bug.
