 I'm using Caldera Open Linux 2.4. I got the Gnome cdrom from Helixcode,
installed it, solved some problems: use of keypad, accented letters.
Thanks to Damon I read some man, then i runned the command:
  " localedef -i fr_FR -f ISO-8859-1 fr_FR "
and surprise ! this message:

 I checked and found :/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/fr_FR The file
fr_FR contains paragraphs: LC_COLLATE, LC_MONETARY, ...
I create the directory /usr/share/locale/fr_FR and  all the files
missing. For instance in the above file ~/LC_MESSAGES/fr_FR
I copied under the title LC_COLLATE the line < copy "en_DK" >
And again "localedef ... "  I can't assure it was correct but it works.
And no more the Gtk warning. 
Nevertheless, still the main problem (only with Evolution) : Evolution
can't read accented letters. I can type and see these letters on the
screen, but when i received the message I got something like "Président"
(President with e acute = e with 'accent).
