Locale warnings and messed up interfaces

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight into fixing 
my locale problem.  Whenever I load a program (such as xfontsel, xman, 
etc), I get locale warnings such as:

Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default
Warning: app-defaults file not properly installed.
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset

When I was running X 4.2.1 there were no problems, but then I upgraded 
to fontconfig (using Xrender, Xft2, and fontconfig from cvs), and I 
started getting these Warnings.  Along with the warnings, the programs 
that give them have their interface all messed up.  xfontsel has its 
menu titles replaced by fieldn (for 0 <= n <= 13), and no text is 
rendered.  In other programs I get similar errors.

Programs and libs that dont use xlib (gtk+/pango) all work without 
problems, so I have no idea what to do.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA
