Hi! Using etch. Using kdm.
I've found that I can put stuff in ~/.xsession. I put 'export LC_ALL=he_IL.UTF-8' there. That made the xserver start and quit, putting me back in kdm. I assume that this is because X didn't start any process and it decides to die thus. I assume that this is because of kdm's behaviour. kdm, when it finds the .xsession in the user's home, launches it and doesn't launch the script that it would normally launch, the one that starts the KDE session. I didn't want to mess around too much so I worked at this at another angle; I set the system default to he_IL.UTF-8, which is what I want for my users, and then I did echo 'export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8' >> /root/.profile so that root won't have Hebrew in it's shell. This is because Hebrew is RTL and it is confusing when combined with LTR; not to mention that the console doesn't even print RTL correctly, but in reverse! (where do I file a bug for this?)
