It works !!! Thanks very much. The only problem I have now is that it appears that my environment doesn't pick up what I specify in /etc/environment, and I have to set it up in a .bash_profile Also, applications started from GDM don't have the proper locale set, so if I open a gnome-terminal from the panel and then I type some accented characters in there, they don't show. However, if I start another gnome-terminal from the command-line of the previous one, it works. I guess I need LANG to be set before gnome-session or whatever gets called, but what is the proper way to do this ? Tristan
