I had a vague recollection of ANSI...3.4, and that it is some sort of fallback. Found it in my notes - on one occasion when I'd screwed up my buildscript for glibc and accidentally omitted locales, everything fell back to ANSI_X3.4-1968. This makes me wonder if something is trying to start gnome-terminal with a non-existant locale (e.g. a typo in a script). An old link from linuxquestions also pointed to http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-list/2003-December/msg00200.html (note particularly the requirement to set the language in gdm if you are using that). ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
