Is stderr redirected to a file ?
In ~/.gnome-error there are three different entries when I start a
gnome-terminal:
Repeated 4x:
(gnome-terminal:5032): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in
module_path: "pixmap",
One:
Window manager warning: Window 0x2400810 (Matthias S) sets SM_CLIENT_ID
on itself, instead of on the WM_CLIENT_LEADER window as specified in the
ICCCM.
Repeated quite often:
** (gnome-terminal:5032): WARNING **: No handler for control sequence
`device-control-string' defined.
> The symptoms sound like setlocale() fails.
Meanwhile I tried setting LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 but no change.
