Thing is, when X starts up it doesn't read your ~/.bashrc. When you run an xterm, bash is fired up which then reads the ~/.bashrc. The disconnect between the two environments is somewhat annoying, but can be easily dealt with by creating an ~/.xsession file that either export that variable or sources the ~/.bashrc. Certain display managers also can set Language variables (but might be limited). #! /bin/sh export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 WINDOW_MANAGER=/usr/bin/window-manager exec $WINDOW_MANAGER Or some such... -- Eric G.
