Thanks. Though you must agree that this does not follow the principle of "Just works"; the GUI tool will not be able to do the work for them. Most end-users will be in a "Am stuck&give up" situation. :( If we cannot solve it in a gracefull way, we might be able to put this whole issue under the carpet if we identify that a very limited number of end-users are really affected. Can we say that? People from distros, do you have feedback on this? Simos -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
