You are right regarding X_LOCALE. You really need not this option.
But Xlib anyway uses own files that describes locale as addition to
'system locale' data. And Xlib need to find an appropriate locale file that
match the system locale.
To map system locale names to names of Xlib's locale files it uses
locale.dir and locale.alias files in X11R6/lib/X11/locale. And you have
problem becouse in these files there is not mapping for 'de_DE.ISO-8859-15'
name.
You need to add a string like
de_DE.ISO-8859-15: de_DE.ISO8859-15
to the locale.alias file
and a string like
iso8859-15/XLC_LOCALE: de_DE.ISO8859-15
to the locale.dir (of course, if such string is absent)
