Comment(by rkern):

 Okay, I figured out how to replicate this without GTK or the XO. GTK isn't
 the problem; numpy is. In Python, the locale will be 'C' unless if the
 user's locale is specifically requested. Apparently, gtk does this.

 {{{

 $ LANG=tr_TR.UTF-8 python -c "import
 locale;locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '');print repr('VOID'.lower())"
 'voId'
 $ LANG=tr_TR.UTF-8 python -c "import
 locale;locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '');print repr(u'VOID'.lower())"
 u'void'
 }}}

 It appears that the result of {{{u'VOID'.lower()}}} is not locale-
 dependent.
