Personally I would find it quite bothersome if I had to set the language for every program instead of just setting a locale for my user and having everything following it. Users on shared computers can easily (I believe: how easy may depend on the desktop environment used) set their own locale, even if the system-wide default is different from their choice, even just for a session, and it is also possibile to change the locale shown to a single locale respecting program, to support the mixed language environment you mentioned, but the reverse is not true. -- Elena ``of Valhalla'' -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
