xterm in X.org error with some locales?

[Jie Gao]

I did know about the luit thing. And I also tried to give luit a setuid 
permission and start xterm again. But still the same. The xterm window 
disappeared immediately after it showed up.

I remember when I was using XFree86 without a setuid luit, I only got a 
warning message in the new xterm window. But now with Xorg, the problem is 
I can never have an xterm window for more than a second.
