Shame on me - that's it! What exactly happens there? I found a new file ~/.gnome/gdm: [session] last=Gnome lang=de_DE.ISO-8859-1 Where is my lang environment overwritten? In a gnome-terminal I still have what I've set: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo $LANG [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Thanks and sorry to everyone who answered. -- MfG Thomas Mueller - http://www.tmueller.com for pgp key (95702B3B)
