I tested things with this env: 
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL=ja_JP.SJIS
LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.SJIS
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8

and gnome-terminal (gnome2) did display sjis (cat sjisfile) properly while
kterm and xterm couldn't.

Gnome-terminal2, because of its server model, won't use the new LC envvars
if you already have other gnome-terminal windows running. This means that 
you should start gnome-terminal from a different xterm after closing them
all.
