The GNU libc itself uses different conventions that depend on the platform. On Nokia's internet tablets (Maemo), "en_US" means en_US with a UTF-8 charmap. But on other platforms, "en_US" means en_US with an ISO-8859-1 charmap.

Solaris and HP-UX also have different conventions from Linux. For instance, whereas en_US.ISO8859-1 works on most platform, I need iso_8859_1 on Solaris and en_US.iso88591 on HP-UX.

I don't see any problem with X window.

No, not bash. I suppose that you do not have a recent bash or have a modified bash.
