Maybe if you add a charset and then run localedef like in the \ howto? I recommend UTF-8. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml I think this may be barking up the wrong tree - it works ok from the command line (ie gnome-terminal) so I'm assuming its some gnome-panel thing. Maybe you can dump the environment from the applet launcher and compare it to the environment in gnome-terminal. The set command with no arguments will dump the environment for you. bash -c set /tmp/applet_env.txt Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The set command with no arguments will dump the environment for you. bash -c set /tmp/applet_env.txt good idea!! ok, there's lots of env var's in there, but no LANG or LC_ALL or anything like that. Also, when I try this as an applet: bash -c locale /tmp/applet_locale I get POSIX for everything instead of en_AU. eg. LC_CTYPE=POSIX instead of LC_CTYPE=en_AU but from the gnome-terminal (for those who came in late): $ locale LANG=en_AU LC_CTYPE=en_AU ... Now what? Is this a bug? I assume so. Any more comments from anyone? Thanks, -- Iain Buchanan [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It needs to be relaunched with the new environment variables. yes, I've restart gnome and rebooted many times (I changed the setting a few days ago) Have you followed all the steps in the localization guide? http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml I followed the important one: setting LANG to en_AU $ locale LANG=en_AU LC_CTYPE=en_AU LC_NUMERIC=en_AU LC_TIME=en_AU LC_COLLATE=en_AU LC_MONETARY=en_AU LC_MESSAGES=en_AU LC_PAPER=en_AU LC_NAME=en_AU LC_ADDRESS=en_AU LC_TELEPHONE=en_AU LC_MEASUREMENT=en_AU LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_AU LC_ALL= but still no go when started from the taskbar. thanks, What about charset?
