Hi Ryan, thanks a lot, - it worked perfectly with Planner (which is a Gnome2 application, and seems to run on that X11 thingy -- it runs in a window called XQuartz, which has menu items like Hide X11 and Quit X11 etc.), - but didn't with Kalarm nor Kate. (There I still get the special symbols like å∫ç etc.)
--> any ideas how to do the same thing for KDE applications...?
