AFAIK this controls the global default. Probably a more descriptive name would be in order here... [user control for language] > Or is there a control like that, that I am unaware of? Yes, in the login screen (depending on your login manager of course, GDM at least supports selecting) you can choose your desired language. I'm not sure if there is technically anything preventing change on-the-fly, but honoring the environmental variables (LC_* etc) is a good thing to do (and can really be expected to stay put for the lifetime of the application). There are some cases where all LC_* values are not best to be the same, and changing these temporarilary when launching programs is often useful too. -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi
