I don't think I've got any control over that in xpopple -- it does the same in the text box in the Open dialog, and other Motif apps behave the same way (unless they don't set the locale at all). Looking at the Motif code, this behaviour is controlled by the FindWord and _XmTextFieldIsWordBoundary functions in lib/Xm/TextF.c. The latter looks like it will always treat characters that take up more than one byte in the encoding as word boundaries, which would explain this behaviour...
