To whomever tries that approach, my advice would be to have a long look at all the botches common destop environments managed to do while trying to internationalise directories beneath a user's home. I mean: those things like "Desktop", which, if you do a German installation are "Schreibtisch". And those aren't "standard Unix" directories, that means that little software knows them, ergo they had the chance to start off a relatively clean slate. And oh, please: drop those whitespaces off file and directory names. This makes teaching shell scripting to newbies a really #@%*&$ยก~ chore. Unless you want newbies to not learn scripting [1]. Cheers [1] The generic "you". You (this time the personal) are the last person I would suspect of this! - t
