(In reply to John Hein from comment #20)
Yes, I agree that the error message is bad, and debugging is not easy unless
you run gnome-terminal-server manually. gdm set the locale from
/usr/local/etc/gdm/locale.conf. It is set to en_US.UTF-8 by default in orde=
r to
satisfy the need of gnome-terminal.

Personally I seldom see the problem because I always use a UTF-8 locale. I
think the best solution is to change the default locale of new installation=
 to
a UTF-8 locale, but it is probably not going to happen. Python is also goin=
g to
coerce the default C locale to a UTF-8 locale to avoid Unicode-handling iss=
ues.
