this happens because gnome-terminal is a single instance application: every time you launch a new terminal it'll check for a running instance and will ask that to spawn a new window. if the first instance happened to be launched under a different locale then you'll have all new windows running under that very locale. unfortunately handling a locale switch at run time is not easy and prone to breakage. ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.net B: http://log.emmanuelebassi.net _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
