When I was trying to solve this, I thought I had gone through every LC_ variable and unset it, did an ls, then on to the next. I totally missed LC_COLLATE. That is the ONLY one that needs to be set to "C" or "POSIX". THANK YOU!!! Now I don't have to hack my X11 startup scripts anymore, just need to set that in /etc/sysconfig/i18n. > You're absolutely right Lonnie.
