Silly bug or am I just stupid?

Hi everybody,

There is something very strange in both the 1.0 and 1.1 source trees.
More specifically the call to set the locale looks like:

current_locale = g_strdup (setlocale (LC_CTYPE, NULL));

This has the unfortunate effect that current_locale always has the value
"C" even if you have set your LANG enviroment variable. This occured to me
since I use locales and noticed that my locale extra keyboard bindings
didn't work with any gtk+ application. I believe that more
politically correct is:

current_locale = g_strdup (setlocale (LC_CTYPE, ""));

as is documented on the manual page (the man page does not define 
behaviour for NULL second argument). At least this patch solved my 
problem. I don't know if it is related to glibc in any way. Also I have
noticed the same mistake in at least two other programs (one of them is
nxterm).
