   I just tried on Slackware 15.0 and to get programs correctly outputting   
   chars with iso-8859-1 charset in xterm it was neccesary to start xterm   
   after setting LANG, I could not find any other way for xterm in Slackware   
   15.0 to output those chars correctly.   
      
   Example:   
      
   (starting xterm)   
   export LANG=en_US.iso-8859-1   
   xterm   
      
   (in the xterm)   
   export LANG=sv_SE.iso-8859-1   
   man chsh
