nedit works fine but has this below when started...

[mike@scrappy ~]$ nedit xorg.conf
nedit: the current locale is utf8 (en_US.UTF-8)

And emacs does NOT work.  The menu is readable and the icon shapes are
fine, but the wording is just boxes.  Also the letters in the files
themselves when trying to edit with emacs is just boxes.

[mike@scrappy ~]$ emacs

Evolution, firefox, epiphany, xchat, gnome-terminal all seem to work, as
well as most of the other gnome/desktop apps in a general workstation
install.  Will have to see about testing some more.

If anyone has some major apps that are of general use they want me to
try with this setup, let me know and will give it a whirl.
