For some strange reason if LC_MESSAGES and LC_CTYPE are not he_IL.utf8, wine does not select the Hebrew locale... Setting LC_ALL and LANG to he_IL.utf8 solves this, but I don't think this is standard behavior... I think only the LANG variable should be taken into account.
LC_ALL takes precedence over any LC_xxx variable. Besides, as xev behaviour shows that's not a Wine specific thing, but X11 one.
I think that my xev is fine. And I don't set LC_ALL... WHEN I SET LC_ALL This effect behavior... I did expect wine to work based on LANG variable. So I guess something needs to be fixed...
