If you have a locale variable (LANG or LC_ALL) set to 'en', then you
are getting this error because 'en' is not a valid locale for
your C library. (For instance, in GNU libc, you need en_US or
en_GB (etc...), plain 'en' does not work). 

Actually there is nothing GTK+ specific about this, GTK+ is
just noisier about failing to set the locale than most other
programs.
