Hi, I set my locale ($LANG and $LC_ALL) as user and not in /etc/environment. However, obviously KDM does something wrong here: if I change the first line of /usr/bin/startkde from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/sh -l (thus making that run a login shell and read $HOME/.profile which sets LANG and LC_ALL), everything works as expected. But I also know that this change is not correct. Actually, kdm should run the script from a login shell but doesn't. That results is program misbehaviour and e.g. konsole only shows the EuroSign correctly when started a second time from itself (that's also strange because konsole itself should _not_ run a login shell). Either I do something wrong or KDE (means KDM and Konsole) mixed it all up :-( What to do?
