Yes, I know (mine is set to german, but this one only set the locales for the GNOME applications, not for gdm itself). OK, I see, when logged in as root, bash sets the locale, then when I restart gdm, gdm gets the locale too. But the problem remains: how to set the locale before the login process starts gdm initially? Thanks anyway, joachim
