Hi ... I played around with ~/.kde/env to solve my locale-utf8-kde3.3 problem.
my situation is, that I have locale.sh in ~/.kde/env with the following content: $cat .kde/env/locale.sh export LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" export LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8" export LC_ALL="de_DE.UTF-8" export LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8" The result is, that I have German-Umlauts in uxterm but not in KDE itsself. I changed my locale-gen to $cat /etc/locale.gen de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8 [EMAIL PROTECTED] UTF-8 en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8 and have following in ~/.profile [EMAIL PROTECTED]; export LANG [EMAIL PROTECTED]; export LC_ALL LC_CTYPE="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ; export LC_CTYPE LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8" ; export LC_MESSAGES The result is, that I do not have utf8 support in KDE-apps, if they will start from uxterm at all. I played around with gdm and kdm and startet my KDE-session manually, but this doesn't help. Any suggestions? Regards Jan
