Well, I had read glibc sources and it's definitely ignores LC_CTYPE.
Maybe there is no part of glibc that cares what encoding it is. I can tell you with authority that X does look at it, as does less, konsole, kedit, and almost any other application I have ever run.
Sure they do, because they handle keyboard input on their own.
No, it shouldn't. Again, I'd ask to use LANG or LC_ALL for that purpose, you can't have LANG and LC_TYPE point to different locales in a sane manner anyway.
? Docs says I can. Actual practice says I can (I do it all the time, as do many people in Israel). Please elaborate on why you chose to call a documented behavior *that works* "insane".
I explained it many times already: because you can't have different locales for keyboard input, string collation and to/from unicode conversion routines.
