gtk does
if (!setlocale(LC_ALL, ""))
g_warning ("Locale not supported by C library.\n\tUsing the fallback 'C' locale.");
On error case (invalid locale) setlocale does nothing -- which

setlocale(3)
In any case you should probably use 'run-standalone.sh browser [..]' to
start applications from command line.
