First of all, tnx for the answer.
I'm using Debian/GNU Linux, with kernel version 2.4.3, LyX version
1.1.5fix2. I'm using as window manager sawfish 0.38 and gnome 1.4.0.2.
I guess that ~/.dtprofile is a conf file of CDE, I've take a look at
gnome and sawfish configurations, but I found none about LANG variable,
I think that them inherit the LANG setting from the LANG environment
variable.
The variable LANG on my system is set as en_US and exported to all apps
(e.g. StarOffice and mutt works well with compose), do I need something
else to obtain compose work under LyX?
TIA,
cheers.
