(This bug is the same as #291115.) I looked at bug #246398 - "xterm: uxterm should fail if en_US.UTF-8 locale not supported on system", closed December 9, 2004, and it seems like this behaviour is intended. It is described in the ChangeLog for xfree86 version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-9:
+ Modify uxterm script to use locale program to verify if the derived locale is installed. (Closes: #246398) However, on a fresh sarge installation without gnome or kde, uxterm has the highest priority for x-terminal-emulator (30), and the en_US.UTF-8 locale is not supported, so in, say, WindowMaker, the terminal launcher does nothing. I think either the en_US.UTF-8 locale should be generated as a dependency of xterm, or uxterm should have lower priority than xterm for x-terminal-emulator.
