It breaks every user's setup where LANG and LC_CTYPE inadvertently point
to different locales (like LC_CTYPE=en_US, LANG=ru_RU) and users in that
case have completely not working Wine: neither keyboard input, not localized
resources and everything else. I, personally, fixed several similar cases
for our customers.
