I get the following warning when trying to run any one of
several gnome apps (glade, pan, spruce, etc.):

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to
C

Gdk-WARNING **: can not set locale modifiers

I was getting complaints with perl, too but after some
research, I seemed to fix those by setting:
LC_ALL=en_US.ISO_8859-1;	export LC_ALL
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO_8859-1;	export LC_CTYPE
LANG=en_US.ISO_8859-1;		export LANG

I notice that:
bash-2.04$ ls /usr/X11R6/share/locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/
control-center.mo	gimp.mo			gnome-libs.mo
ee.mo			glade.mo		gnome-media.mo
ghex.mo			gnome-applets.mo	gnome-pim.mo
gimp-libgimp.mo		gnome-core.mo		gnome-utils.mo
gimp-script-fu.mo	gnome-games.mo		gnumeric.mo
gimp-std-plugins.mo	gnome-iconedit.mo	sawfish.mo

but I want en_US. I'm not in Britain. 
bash-2.04$ ls /usr/X11R6/share/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES
enlightenment.mo

I also notice that:
bash-2.04$ ls /usr/compat/linux/usr/share/locale/en_US 
LC_COLLATE	LC_MESSAGES	LC_NUMERIC
LC_CTYPE	LC_MONETARY	LC_TIME

but 
bash-2.04$ ls /usr/X11R6/share/locale/en_US 
LC_MESSAGES

I think I'm on the right track here, but I don't know just
how I managed to get this configuration or just how to fix
it. I'm running FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE and Gnome-1.2. Anyone?
Any help greatly appreciated.
