In ~/.gnome-error there are three different entries when I start a gnome-terminal: Repeated 4x: (gnome-terminal:5032): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap", One: Window manager warning: Window 0x2400810 (Matthias S) sets SM_CLIENT_ID on itself, instead of on the WM_CLIENT_LEADER window as specified in the ICCCM. Repeated quite often: ** (gnome-terminal:5032): WARNING **: No handler for control sequence `device-control-string' defined. > The symptoms sound like setlocale() fails. Meanwhile I tried setting LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 but no change. -- MfG Thomas Mueller - http://www.tmueller.com for pgp key (95702B3B)
