Problem solved ... just added:
LANG=es_ES.ISO-8859-1
export LANG
before executing gnome-session ...

I just added:
WINDOW_MANAGER=/usr/bin/X11/wmaker
export WINDOW_MANAGER
/usr/bin/gnome-session
after removing all of my .gnome* stuff from my $HOME ... but it didn't work! All of
the changes to apps in the clip have to be saved by restarting wmaker from its menu.
Anyone who knows how to do the right thing, please send me an e-mail. I am going to
unsubscribe from the list - I am suscribed to the spanish user list and suscribe to
this list for finding someone who knows how to solve the problem -. Anyway, thank you
all of you for contributing to make Debian the best Linux distribution.
Kind regards,
