Just for the sake of completeness, here is a thread that was started 2 
years ago for a similar patch I proposed.  Someone complained that it 
would cause them problems.

PS: Christain, I too manually patch every gnucash installation to remove 
the UTF8 as you do, and every major distro for the last few years has 
defaulted to UTF8...

PSS: For what it is worth, there is precedent for other non-UTF8 
supporting apps to strip the UTF8 off the LANG var: "nedit" 
(www.nedit.org) does this.
