This is odd to me because 'C' is the default locale. Try set XNLSPATH to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale.

First, in a shell prompt, you test with typing:

  env XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale netscape

If it looks okay, you can put the following line in the shell's config
file.

  XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale; export XNLSPATH (for sh)

  setenv XNLSPATH /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale (for csh)

You can use 'switchdesk' if you installed it in your RH box. (you should
have it, I believe.)

HTH,
