Right: In my working system I use LANG=de_DE.utf8 . The described error shows 
up in both LANG settings, though.

I'm not sure as well. I guess it doesn't matter with gtk2-Applications since 
they will do the correct conversion from/to utf8 on the fly, but probably 
other applications will run into trouble.  As for gnucash-gtk2, it doesn't 
really matter.
