The Xt widget creation code just calls the string to fontset converter
that in turn XCreateFontSet that in turn calls XCreateOC and then
finally somewhere there is a call to setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL). So I
guess the only way to to this is to set LC_ALL or LC_CTYPE in the
environment prior to widget creation (assuming X does not cache this
information at startup) as you suggest.
