It seems that evolution, gnome, and userdrake are affected by some kind
of locale problem. I created mandrake bugs 89 and 90 at
https://qa.mandrakesoft.com one of which has a stack trace from
userdrake. It shows that it has two lines that say:
open("/usr/share/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/usermode.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/usermode.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
Sure enough these files don't exist. I'm not sure if this is
specifically why it crashed. The following is the .xsession-errors
file, which also complains about locale problems.
eric@eric ~ $ cat .xsession-errors
