Xiphos does not use locales.conf; it uses a languages file in
/usr/share/xiphos, derived from (many years ago) BibleTime's original
list plus the SIL megalist plus quite a few individual modifications
since then.  I have made updates to this to resolve the difficulties
noticed, so Xiphos again shows no "Unknown" entries.  You can pick up
current SVN of the file at
https://sourceforge.net/p/gnomesword/code/4915/tree/trunk/ui/languages
and simply replace the one from 4.0.3.  This will be part of 4.0.4.

No.  Making the anomalous appear as the norm (or, worse, special) is
wrong, philosophically.  If anything, it would be moved to the end, not
the beginning.  Regardless, moving it would screw with straightforward
sorting code, to very little benefit.
