>Description:
xterm-241 displays latin characters with diacritical marks instead of cyrillic (russian) characters. Other applications (konsole, opera) display the same filenames correctly.

Modifying the 'locale' value in either ~/.Xresources or /usr/local/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm has no effect. Specifying -lc or -en command line option produces a 'no such option' error.
>How-To-Repeat:
1) Install FreeBSD 6.2
2) Install x11/xterm
3) Verify your locale is ru_RU.KOI8-R
4) Create files with russian names in your home directory

5) Install FreeBSD 7.1
6) Install x11/xterm (xterm-241)
7) Verify that your locale is ru_RU.KOI8-R and login class is 'russian'
7) Run xterm, type 'ls' in your home
>Fix:
1) Downgrade to xterm-238: run 'cvs update -ACPd -D 2009-01-06' in /usr/ports/x11/xterm
2) Deinstall xterm-241, install xterm-238
3) Add '*locale: true' to /usr/local/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm. Note, that editing ~/.Xresourses has no effect.
