I have a gnome panel launcher for gvim. For the command it simply says 'gvim'. I have ash as /bin/sh and /bin/bash is my shell. In ~/.bashrc I have
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 Any time I run gnome-terminal or if I start a subshell from gvim, echoing $LANG gives the above value. In addition, if I try ":echo $LANG" in gvim, I get the same (correct) result. However if I start gvim from the launcher, it has en_US.ISO-8859-1 as the value of $LANG. I can't figure out why that is. I tried making a shell script to start gvim from the launcher, and checking the "run in terminal" box. The shell script looked like #!/bin/sh gvim echo $LANG sleep 7 When it would run, $LANG would have the latin1 value. I checked the ash man page (as it seems gnome panel uses /bin/sh when launching programs) and I couldn't find any way to execute something (to set the environment) for a _non login_ shell. Any ideas?
