I've done all this and I'm still receiving warnings on most programs.  
For example:
lukas at gnarley:~$ gnome-calculator

(gnome-calculator:6679): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib

(gnome-calculator:6679): Gdk-WARNING **: cannot set locale modifiers

^X
lukas at gnarley:~$ xeyes
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
^X
lukas at gnarley:~$ echo $LANG
en_US

Why isn't my locale supported by xlib?  What is supported by my locale?
What's wrong with setting my locale to C? How do I do that?
