The /etc/environment file mentioned in the Ubuntu HowTo page seems not to matter anymore in Ubuntu 8.04. That is, it seems never to be read and the environment is never set from it. (You can check --- do an ls -lu on the file and you'll find that it's never read on reboot and login.) To get the same effect, you can create a launcher that does: env LANG="en_GB" xastir instead of just "xastir", and that'll do the trick. It'll change the language setting ONLY for the process running xastir, and the annoying X messages go away. Ever since I upgraded to 8.04 I had to do this. I have yet to find any file in /etc that allows me to customize the language properly, nor have I figured out (or really tried to figure out) what file gets scribbled when one uses the GUI interface to set the language (which does not give you the option to drop the UTF-8 from your current setting). If you figure it out, lemme know, because it's one of those annoyances about the upgrade I simply haven't bothered to work through, just work around. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours." -- R.
