If all is well, no need to do that.

When I login my environment is set up as shown here:

SHELL=/bin/bash
TERM=xterm
QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-3.3
QTINC=/usr/lib/qt-3.3/include
KDE_FULL_SESSION=true
USER=egreshko
DESKTOP_SESSION=kde
QT_IM_MODULE=xim
GDM_XSERVER_LOCATION=local
INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc
XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
GTK_IM_MODULE=scim

No LC_CTYPE environment variable is set.
