Pretty much what it says. If you've set your LANG environment variable
(or the XlcNLanguage resource) to "foozle" and libc doesn't have support
for the "foozle" locale, Xt's default language procedure will emit that
warning.

Set you LANG environment variable to something that your libc actually
supports, or fix your libc/locale database. Note that most Linux
distributions have pretty lame locale support "out of the box."

It depends on what you consider to be minor. The program will run in the
C locale (ANSI/ISO/POSIX C says that the program starts in the C locale
until it is changes with setlocale(3)) and therefore X will run in the C
locale. If you're using kterm because you want to read/write Chinese
text, you won't be able to in the C locale.
