locale settings and non-kde apps

[Gabriele Persia <g.persia@libero.it>]

Hi all,

Gimp, gnomemeeting, openoffice (installed both l10n-en and l10n-it), and 
others apps runs in english.

- kde language is "Italian"
- konsole --> locale output:
LANG=it_IT
LC_CTYPE="it_IT"
LC_NUMERIC="it_IT"
LC_TIME="it_IT"
LC_COLLATE="it_IT"
LC_MONETARY="it_IT"
LC_MESSAGES="it_IT"
LC_PAPER="it_IT"
LC_NAME="it_IT"
LC_ADDRESS="it_IT"
LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT"
LC_ALL=it_IT

- if I go to "run command" (kde menu), and run "locale" inside a konsole 
window, the output is:
LANG=POSIX
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=


- editing $HOME/.Xsession with export LANG=it_IT didn't solve the problem.

...why X | KDM | KDE lose (or ignore) my locale settings ?

- If I run these apps within the konsole (where locale setting are ok) they 
run in Italian.

Thanks for any help,
Gabriele.

P.S.
please reply off-list too
