Problem solved: I took a closer look at /etc/environment and realized that it
didn't properly export the $LANG variable. Since $LANG is also set
in /etc/sysconfig/i18n, I got it after the fact, so to speak. Stupid
oversight, but everything works fine now, thanks for your help.

I noticed that kdm 3.3 has a regression where /etc/environment is not sourced anymore. I suppose one of us should file a bug on it. -- Nathaniel W.

Strange, because this works here just fine with Debian Sarge.
Create a file ("touch /xsession-test") in that script and see if it gets
executed...

That's only going to work if you run this with a shell prefixed:
/bin/bash -c "LC_ALL=C konsole"
But doing this for every such program is just a bad hack.

(Since I already had an appropriate /etc/environment file, I substituted that instead of one in $HOME.) I also tried to make a menu entry with 'LANG=en_US.UTF-8 konsole' per Frans Pop's suggestion, but that also did not work. What does KDE3.3 do differently? I'm planning on upgrading in the next few days, so if it works there, I can wait a bit. Thanks, :Peter

You have to set the environment variable _before_ starting KDE. Sadly, Debian does not do this. However, you can manually do it: $ cat /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10local_userenv USERENVFILE=$HOME/.environment if [ -f $USERENVFILE ]; then source $USERENVFILE; fi also source this file where you normally write your environment stuff (e.g. ~/.bashrc). Now set the environment in ~/.environment and your problem is gone. As already stated here, KDE3.3 will make this a bit easier (maybe they finally realized the problem).
