The "Terminal -> Zeichenkodierung" menu (should be "Terminal -> Character encoding") displays "Momentan verwendete Standort-Einstellung UTF-8" (probably something like "current locale settings") as first and selected entry. gconf-edit displays content of key "/apps/gnome-terminal/global/active encodings" as ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15.
