Comment(by marisn):

 I'm not able to reproduce the issue on my system no matter how hard I try.

 Still the issue seems to be twofold - there was not robust enough code to
 set language/locale in startup script. It is fixed and from r59215 it
 should work just fine* The second problem is that now some problems with
 other wxgui code have popped-up. I.e. getdefaultlocale shouldn't be used
 to get encoding.

 Can you, please, apply this patch and give me back output?
