These changes in the locale names have not been MFC'd yet; as a consequence, the alias definition es_ES.DIS_8859-15: es_ES.ISO8859-15 must be added to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias in order to get X11 working with the ISO8859-15 locale. Unfortunately, 4.5-RELEASE will be released with the old-fashioned locale names. I have just sent the patch for locale.alias to the x11/XFree86-4 port maintainer.
