I believe that Mandrake uses an i18n file too.  Mandrake sets every single "LC_" variable
explicitely.  I think it is better to only set the "LANG" variable, and then only
set "LC_" variables that one wants to override the default for whatever locale "LANG" is
set to.

Try SCIM (http://www.scim-im.org).  The latest version of SCIM comes with a
modern Vietnamese input method.  Recall that modern Vietnamese basically uses the Latin alphabet
with numerous diacritical marks on the letters.  One could easily create a similar input method
map for polytonic Greek, for example.
