It's time to do something about this one.

I don't even get that far.  Is there a brief overview somewhere on how
locale influences the various parts of XEmacs?  Specifically, how do
file names work?  I have

(get-coding-system-from-locale (current-locale)) => utf-8

Yet XEmacs treats a filename called "äää" (a umlaut, a umlaut, a umlaut)
as if it were called "a box a box a box" (i.e. apparently the UTF-8
encoding of the file name).
