This one is empty, and i suppose this is the cause.

Now, why did the locales packages not fill it, when i remember well
having answered the questions about which locales to build, and back in
june it did generate these locales each time i upgrades the locales
packages. 

Anyway, sorry for the disturbance and thanks for your help in fixing
this.

BTW, the ooqstart-gnome package is only working for gnome 1, not gnome2,
and upstream doesn't seem to have time for it right now. Is it much work
to adapt a smallish gnome 1 applet to gnome 2 ?

Friendly,
