What are the settings of your LC_ALL and LANG environment variables?

('locale' does not give particularly useful information)

But the message doesn't mean that GTK+ doesn't like the locale settings,
it means that the C library doesn't like the locale settings and 
GTK+, unlike most other programs actually warns you when setlocale()
fails.
