I agree this is a problem, but often the case is that you want your application to work differently then what the system is configured for, and setting up the env for each run (for example, in a .desktop entry) is not a good way to go. kpilot is a good example: while my system is set for UTF-8, I'd want kpilot to use ISO when synching. > that are independantly configured.

That being said, KPilot in KDE 3.2 has GUI for charset configuration.
