Hi,

I'd like to know where to find more information on the
/etc/environment file, 
I couldn't find a man page or info page for it and searching through
the 
Debian mailing lists didn't turn anything up either.

It would be great if you could point me to some information wrt its
use,
which programs read it etc.

The problem was that the setting in the file overturned my language
choice in the
gdm (xdm variant) login manager, so my desktop environment always
ended up being in
English (the /etc/environment default, or rather "C"). I removed the
file and language
choosing works now, but I'd like to know whether I've killed other
parts of the system
inadvertedly and whether I should file a bug report for gdm.

Thank you,

Yours Malte #8-)
