(*sigh*) I probably should have seen this coming.  My Linux config is
highly customized.  I'm still running GlibC 2.2.4.  I tried changing
LC_ALL to UTF-8 and I'm getting:

  Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged

whenever I launch things from xterm to Mozilla.  I have a feeling my C
Library is once again too old for current apps.  Sorry to bother you all
on this.
