You might help us to advertise this: Debian system install all the documents under /usr/share/doc/ for each package it installed. There are several directory for gnome-*. You might want to see the gnome-core directory. I have not used gnome on my desktop, so... :( > > I can startup a English Style Netscape communicator by press the the earth > like icon in > the menu bar which can browse big-5, gb, english web page correctly. > > I can also startup a Big-5 Chinese Style Netscape communicator by choose > [Debian menus] > -> [Apps] -> [Net] -> [Netscape] -> [Netscape(zh_TW.Big5)] which can browse > big-5, gb, > english web page correctly. > If you take a look at /usr/lib/menu/netscape-zh-resource-475, you will see that the environment for zh_TW.Big5 is set explicitly in that directory. And /usr/bin/X11/crxvt also explicitly set you environment to zh_TW.Big5. As a result, you can see a zh_TW.Big5 both in crxvt and netscape even if your overall environment is not set to zh_TW.Big5. beside, gdm won't read your .bash_profile and .bashrc. It should read your .login file though. You might need to check how gdm set your environment. For xdm, it read ~/.xsession.

One possible reason is that as you know, the LC_COLLATE is not in the default zh_TW.Big5 locale. If LC_COLLATE is not there, LC_ALL and LANG will not work properly. gnome might just set your LC_ALL or LANG to zh_TW.Big5 when you set it up at language chooser. You might want to copy the LC_COLLATE from GBK's directory /usr/share/locale/zh_CN.GBK/ and see if that works. > One of the reason support my guess is that, > Debian's Netscape Communicator package has its own chinese locale since > version 4.75, and > the X-window has configured as Chinese-big5, hence the communicator can use > the > corresponding chinese resources to display the chinese character menu bar. > If your environment is all properly set to big5, the one at the taskbar should also start netscape with big5 menu. -- Best regard ha_shao
