Not quite.
LANG=he_IL.utf-8 LC_MESSAGES=he konsole --help
And it still shows up messed up in konsole (1.0.1/kde 2.0.1):
even after I set the font to an iso10646-1 font (which seems to work fine
with unicode xterm)

Oh... Now I get it. Konsole only displays utf8 when LANG is set to
'*.utf8' .
e.g.:
LANG=blabla.utf8 konsole
will do, but not:
LC_ALL=he_IL.utf8
Have things got more sane in 2.1 ?
I would rather have such a feature be overidable with command-line
switches.
