I thought it could be a problem sicne I compiled wx for gtk2 & unicode, so I 
re-installed
wx for gtk (--with-gtk), but still I get the same error.

It looks like the problem is since my locale is set to utf-8.

So I should give up my locale utf-8?

I am so accustomed to use utf-8 and thereby avoid iso-latin-x hell.

That's the reason why I am so happy to be able to write utf-8 in DocBook and 
convert it
to ConTeXt.

I'll also try to see if I can think about some solution - according to my 
skills.
