Dear David C. Maple,
I include here my own working "experimental" examples: I run four
locales, each as a different user. These seem to behave
"satisfactorily"; however, I shall have to refine some more details.
You migh want to read perllocale(1) and setlocale(3) to begin with.
Enjoy !
# Us English locale configuration, in my ~/.tcshrc
setenv LC_ALL en_US.ISO_8859-1
setenv LC_CTYPE en_US.ISO_8859-1
setenv LANG en_US.ISO_8859-1
setenv MM_CHARSET ISO-8859-1

LC_ALL=it_IT.ISO_8859-1; export LC_ALL

LANG=it_IT.ISO_8859-1; export LANG
MM_CHARSET=ISO-8859-1; export MM_CHARSET

With these settings, and the corresponding settings in KDE, I have
found no locale errors -- so far.
