Bug Description

Gnome-terminal ingnores locale LC_CTYPE.

To reproduce
1) Set LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8", described in detail on http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/english_in_finland_on_ubuntu.html

2) Applications: Accessories: Terminal (gnome-terminal)

3) $ echo "This is one word: päivää"
Double click between "iv".

What should happen: "päivää" should be selected, because it is one word. "Päivää" is hello in Finnish.

What actually happens: "iv" is selected.

What causes it: gnome-terminal ignores LC_CTYPE, and has it's own list of characters in gconf. 'gconf-editor', /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/word_chars is set by default to "-A-Za-z0-9,./?%&#:_". Instead of a list, gnome programs should respect locales.
