Hello,

I've a problem running mc with localization in all xterms (xterm,
konsole, xfterm4) except rxvt.

If my locale is set to fr_FR, then the right pannel of mc is misaligned
and ugly : http://cafcom.free.fr/tmp/mc.png

It would not be a problem as I can use it in rxvt, but rxvt doesn't
support utf-8 and I need my LANG to be set to fr_FR.utf-8 for many apps.

So:
- xterm, konsole, xfterm4, : bad display ;
- rxvt : display ok, but no utf-8 support (can't display french accents).

Thanks for your help

I've found in another thread there is a problem with the xterm termcap
file in Slackware 12.

Setting $TERMCAP to /usr/X11R6.bak/lib/X11/etc/xterm.termcap solved my
problem, but I think it is a bug, not a feature...
