That can't work, since there is only one active locale in the win32 world.
Your problems are caused by X11 limitations, that X11 has no a notion of
input locale, has no distinct locale for an active keyboard layout, and
uses current system locale instead. They adopted UTF-8 as a workaround
for the whole problem instead of fixing it properly.
