No application that uses a standard Xorg supports these languages
correctly, period, end of story. You need a whole new set of libraries
regardless of whether there is locale data. Xorg should be including the
locales since that bit is needed as an enabler for the other libaries
and it seems daft to have Sun, Red Hat, Novell and every other vendor
add them to the tree each release.
