LC_ALL = 'de_DE.CP1252'

Oh dear :-(  It looks like this is going to be broken for all locales which
use a Windows codepage encoding, since Xlib knows nothing about them.

As a workaround, you could perhaps set your locale to de_DE.ISO8859-1 (which
is a subset of CP1252), if you actually need to work with CP1252 encoded data,
or de_DE.UTF-8 if you don't.

I'm not sure what to do about fixing this.  Prior to Xserver 1.7.1-2 it would
just refuse to start with unsupported locales.  I guess we should at least
fallback to setting the C locale if the current locale isn't supported by X.
I'm not sure I want try adding all the possible codepage locales which Cygwin
supports to the X locale tables.
