I'm happy I put that warning in :-)

At the moment, the gtk interface can't handle multibyte character encodings 
very well. By default, RH9 and up ship with a multibyte language setting like
LANG=en_US.UTF-8.
Before running Lazarus reset it to en_US (or whatever language you prefer)

I'm not sure if the next exeptions are the result of previous message
(It should normally work, only some keypressed events aren't fired)

If it still happens, let me know.
