Bug#364486: Bug# 364486: gnome-terminal doesn't handle utf-8 anymore

[Bas Zoetekouw]

Just noticed this blog entry 
http://www.davidpashley.com/cgi/pyblosxom.cgi/2006/05/04#gnome-terminal
which seems to describe the exact problem I'm having.
I've disabled the menu bar in my terminals, so I never noticed the
charset option there. Indeed, as the blog says, the charset is set to
ANSI_X3.4-1968 (ASCII7, I guess), rather than UTF8.  Manually setting
the charset fixes all my problems.

So, it seems that, rather then looking at the charset of the current
session inside the terminal, gnome-terminal uses some other way to
determine the charset to use.  
I'm not sure if it's relevant here, but I don't set a locale in
/etc/environment, only in ~/.zshrc.
