Yes and no. In Wine everything is selected at one place, and is the 
equivalent of the "system default locale". Be warned, btw, that some 
things don't work very well with input when using UTF-8.

Is it fixable? Probably. You need to get the concept of a user locale. 
Grab the system locale from LC_CTYPE and the user locale from LANG. 
Select resources based on the user locale. That would probably fix this 
issue. Havn't had the time (http://www.advogato.org/person/sun/#1) to 
actually go ahead and do it.
