How come that LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-1 works at all? If I do a "locale -a" 
I only see (for Germany)

de_DE
de_DE at euro
de_DE.utf8

Can I find a description somewhere about the (changed) character set 
handling in kde/konsole?

And also, if I do export LANG="de_DE.ISO-8859-1" somewhere in my 
.profile I never will see error messages in the local language, they 
always appear in English.

And if I open a second shell in the same konsole for another user who 
did not set LANG="de_DE.ISO-8859-1" in his profile I get the utf-8 
message, e.g. like:

locale: Das Verzeichnis »/usr/share/i18n/charmaps« der 
Zeichensatz-Definitionen kann nicht gelesen werden: Datei oder 
Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

It seems that character set handling in konsole is not implemented 
correctly.
