here's my setup--
% printenv | grep "LC|LANG" | sort
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE=en_US
% egrep "\\<LC|LANG" /etc/environment ~/.??*
/etc/environment:LANG=C
/home/will/.cshrc:setenv LC_CTYPE en_US
also try
% locale
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE=en_US
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=
(man locale)
you might put such commands in your .login or .bashrc
files to get the same setup on every log-in. there may
even be a utility that'll set this up for you, and if so,
surely someone wiser than me will tell you about it,
Any Minute Now. :)
does that help?

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #28 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Would you like to have rxvt show you useful information in the
TITLE BAR of its X window? For example, to see your "present
working directory" in the title bar, include this in your bash
command prompt string:
export PS1="\e]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED] "
Anything between the "\e]0;" and the control-G will be displayed
as the title of the rxvt window. (For data entry, you may need to
precede the ^G with ^V.)
