I found it didn't make any difference (though it may matter, I just
can't tell). Read on for why...

I did, and Jeff and thomasvs worked it out (thanks very much to you
both). Trustix 1.5 (which is based on RedHat 7.0) comes with
glibc-2.1.3.

The bind_textdomain_codeset function is defined in glibc, but only if
you get version 2.2 or later.

Hence, no GNOME 2 for me just yet. If you wonder if you have the same
problem, you could try something like this (you'll need to modify it for
your box -- "find /usr/lib -name '*.so'" could be a good replacement for
the rpm part):

  $ rpm -ql glibc-2.1.3 | xargs nm --print-file-name 2>/dev/null | \
  grep bind_textdomain_codeset

If you get no output, things aren't looking rosy.
