The warning means that your locale setting (the LANG or LC_ALL 
all environment variable) is not supported by the operating
system.

The problem is not specific to GTK+ - it is just is noisier
about it than other programs.

A possible reason for this is if you have the LANG or LC_ALL 
environment variable set to 'de' - the C library only supports
de_DE.

I don't know enough about SuSE  to say where this is configured
for the system.

This is most likely unrelated to the warning and represents a bug
in the program. We'd need a backtrace of where the crashes
to say for sure.

Probably nothing to do with GTK+ or the program ... but without
knowing what the program is, very difficult to say. This problem
sounds like it is a bug in the X server. (I believe that SuSE 6.4
might ship with XFree86 4.0.0, which is rather buggy on some
video cards.)
