Im interested in the cause of this too. It seems like many
applications, Firefox and conky for example crap out, and display
garbage, when they encounter (utf8 i belive) characters they cant
handle. one common one in firefox is for apostraphes ( ' ' ' ) to
become something like &#%^. a simple word like can't morphs to
can&#^*t. interesting that this isnt a xfce only problem...
