The warning your receiving above is not related to your described problem.  
This warning has to do with your default font being set to en_US.UTF.8 (echo 
$LANG to check) and motif not supporting the character extension.  This is 
generally a harmless, if not annoying, message.  If it really bothers you, 
you could set up a script to start xastir and include LANG=en_US at the 
beginning.  I wouldn't disable UTF fonts globally as they are, IMHO, a better 
implementation.  

Now as for your original problem, I would start by insuring that your config 
files are chmod'ed to allow you to write to them.
