Yes, I noted that already!

The output tells me that all LC_?? are "C" except LC_ALL, which is
empty. i.e. LC_ALLl=""

Thanks, but what is your suggestion:  Should I set the locale in the
environment during the build?
Or could I somehow tell the Xserver what my locale is.  I hve not
found a place in the make-files.

B.t.w.  I saw your problem with emacs.  And I'm so happy that I use vi
for editing.  I'm too old
for emacs.  (I've passed my "three score and ten several years ago).

Thaqnks for your answer.
