Great, now I have to do three attempts on average, to enter my password.
You see, I have both English and Cyrillic (Russian) input layouts installed.
Before this change, typing in Russian in the password field simply did not work
(did not add any characters), so I immediately knew the selected key

I'm not sure, but I think xscreensaver uses /etc/shaddow on my machine.
setlocale (LC_CTYPE, "") should work, since the "Password" string is
localized by LC_MESSAGES (At least I think it is, I can't test) and the
date is localized by LC_TIME.
On my machine, the date is fine when using setlocale (

Well, if I comment out #undef ENABLE_NLS in xscreensaver.c around line
1410, I still see garbage messages on both date and "Password" in
LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 (note that you can see the name "tasaka1"
If I use `LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 xscreensaver`, only the date is scrambled,
but not the word "Password".
However, maybe this can be solved by using
setlocale (LC_CTYPE, "")
instead of
setlocale (LC_ALL, "")

I strongly suspect that won't work, because calling setlocale() at all
changes things in a way that setlocale(oldlocale) won't restore. I
believe (though I can't prove it right now) that there's no way to
return to the state of "I never called setlocale at all".

Sigh... well it completely screws up the dialog box in Japanese, so
that's not a complete fix.
I wonder if there's some combination of locale settings that would make

LANG is already set to de_DE.utf8, and `LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 xscreensaver ` does
the same as `xscreensaver`.

Try playing around with the various locale-related environment variables
before launching the xscreensaver daemon.
It *may* be that to make this work it's necessary for xscreensaver to
call setlocale(), which it did briefly (possibly only in 5.12) but I
turned that off because it screws everything
I tried 5.12 with the patch attached (it makes xscreensaver handle multibyte
chars as multiple single byte chars and adds the debugging from 5.14) and 5.14
unpatched on Natty.
I entered ö€ and got this (i made the debugging be in hex instead of oct):

But you're right, XwcLookupString() would be the better way since it can deal
with dead keys (as much as XmbLookupString()). Find below the output of xev

XLockupString() does (in contrary to the documentation) respect the

I appreciate the effort, but this patch cannot be correct.
First of all, the documentation for XLookupString clearly says, "the
KeySym is mapped, if possible, to an ISO Latin-1 character or (if the
Control modifier is on) to an ASCII control character".
In other words, XLookupString only works on
Jus noticed: Last patch will introduce wrong backspace behaviour for
iso-charsets.

I don't know why this would fail, and I don't know how to debug it. The

on line 1701 of driver/lock.c.
