i'll read that later today. thanks. > You said that gnome apps don't have such a problem ... how do they do > it? what i said was that most apps that display dates allow the user to change the date format. requiring the user to mess about with environment variables (and probably also edit the prefs for the app's desktop icon to set the env var when launching) isn't really good enough. it's fine for a text-mode app like mutt where you can assume that the user is comfortable with that kind of thing, but not for a GUI app where you can only assume that the user is fairly naive. craig -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (part time cyborg) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
