I realize what I'm about to suggest is an ugly workaround, and doesn't address the core problem, but you can modify your OOo shortcuts to prepend "LANG=de ;" (or whatever it's supposed to be to make OOo happy). This would effectively set the variable just for OOo and not affect other applications. Like I said, ugly. -- Brad Felmey
