Yes, I don't see it (LC_CTYPE) either...

I tested that (.xinitrc with *ONLY* a gnome-terminal), and again, I
don't see the LC_CTYPE var getting set.

I took it one step further:  I did a startx with the following
.xinitrc:

#!/bin/sh
ktrace gnome-session

I looked for "en_US" in *EVERY* file that gets opened during a startx,
and I discovered that "LC_CTYPE" and "en_US" are *HARDCODED* into the
libgnomeui.so.4 file/shared library.  I would say without reservation
that "THIS is where the LC_CTYPE is being set."  Therefore, I need to
read the FreeBSD handbook and see how one goes about reporting a bug
in the ports (gnomelibs-1.2.4, to be exact).  I am not an expert, but
I don't think that hardcoding this value in a shared library is "The
Right Way To Get The Job Done (TM)"
