Hmm ... not sure if the Window Manager/Display Environment sticks its finger 
in my locale!

On a console logged in as a plain user I get exactly what I have in my 
/etc/env.d/02locale.  The story is the same when I su to root in a terminal 
within X.  However, when I am in a terminal in X as a plain user I get *every* 
locale variable as  en_GB.UTF-8.

My /etc/env.d/02locale shows:

LANG="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="C"

Why would this be so?  The Language setting in my WM (e17) is set as 'System 
Default' and at the bottom is shows "System Locale: Locale".
