I took it one step further: I did a startx with the following .xinitrc: #!/bin/sh ktrace gnome-session I looked for "en_US" in *EVERY* file that gets opened during a startx, and I discovered that "LC_CTYPE" and "en_US" are *HARDCODED* into the libgnomeui.so.4 file/shared library. I would say without reservation that "THIS is where the LC_CTYPE is being set." Therefore, I need to read the FreeBSD handbook and see how one goes about reporting a bug in the ports (gnomelibs-1.2.4, to be exact). I am not an expert, but I don't think that hardcoding this value in a shared library is "The Right Way To Get The Job Done (TM)" Ryan rklosh@rkl.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
