Fix LC_CTYPE error message when starting FileZilla.

When starting FileZilla I always got the following error message. After clicking OK, the application started normally, but it was still annoying.

The error message:

A local filename could not be decoded.
Please make sure the LC_CTYPE (or LC_ALL) environment variable is set correctly.
Unless you fix this problem, files might be missing in the file listings.
No further warning will be displayed this session.
