Aha! You got it! From a console both ~/.bashrc and /etc/env.d/02locale are being read as expected and the settings adopted. From within X the different terminals do their own thing. So it must be a dekstop script that sets them up differently. The question then becomes, which script ... I use Enlightenment as my desktop manager and kdm as the Display Manager, but wouldn't know where to look further than that. kdm is starting up Enlightenment by reading my ~/.xsession, which does not have any locale settings in it from what I can tell. -- Regards, Mick
