(btw, can anybody tell me why redhat ignores LANG? and what is this
LINGUAS thing anyway? maybe because other variables like LC_ALL are also
set and take precedence?)

Ok, try this:

LC_ALL=fr gimp

And check wether the menus are "weird".

BTW: I was just told that redhat 6.1 was released quite some time _before_
glibc-2.1 was released. Maybe they have used a slightly patched libc? (no
flame intended)
