I too was getting that locale error (latest testing/Etch) which I was able to get rid of via creating a symbolic link in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
ln -s /usr/share/X11/locale . but I continue to not be able to write anything in the above affected applications (no errors or warnings) which leads me to believe that /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 is simply not properly populated. On stable/Sarge /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 is full of directories, files and links while on testing/Etch its oddly rather empty (two rather barren sub-directories). Could someone comment on this - are various symbolic links not created on purpose ? For instance for 'fonts', etc ? Regards, - Nadim __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
