Looks like Xlib requires the newer locale anyway.  I was able to test
this tonight, and I see what you're talking about.  I imagine the mix of
English and German is caused by an incomplete German translation.  I'm
not a GnuCash user, so my best recommendation to you is to ask the
GnuCash developers.  There are a few mailing lists that may be able to
help, including a German list:

http://www.gnucash.org/en/lists.phtml

If you find it's a problem with the port, perhaps the developers can
help shed some light on what I can do to get these things fixed.
