That can't work, since there is only one active locale in the win32 world. Your problems are caused by X11 limitations, that X11 has no a notion of input locale, has no distinct locale for an active keyboard layout, and uses current system locale instead. They adopted UTF-8 as a workaround for the whole problem instead of fixing it properly. -- Dmitry.
