Hello, for those who didn't follow the previous thread... I need most locales set to de_DE.UTF-8 -- however, I don't want system messages to be in german.
The nice tool set-language-env offers merely the choice between iso-8859-1 or -15; I tried following the changes it made and replace them with utf-8, however, this doesn't seem to be all that easy. At any rate, I don't get the desired result. Trying to do it on my own, I got lost. I changed both ~/.xsession and ~/.bashrc ... well, at any rate things now work when I start the applications from an xterm window. They still garble my text when I launch them from the menu bar. Where does one set all the LC_WHATEVER locales to make them stick? I tried grep'ping my home dir in the hope to find more files, but all hits I got were in my mailbox and mozilla's cache. cu, Schnobs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
