This one is empty, and i suppose this is the cause. Now, why did the locales packages not fill it, when i remember well having answered the questions about which locales to build, and back in june it did generate these locales each time i upgrades the locales packages. Anyway, sorry for the disturbance and thanks for your help in fixing this. BTW, the ooqstart-gnome package is only working for gnome 1, not gnome2, and upstream doesn't seem to have time for it right now. Is it much work to adapt a smallish gnome 1 applet to gnome 2 ?
