Setting variables?
How does one set a shell variable when logging in with kdm? IE I want to set LANG=en_US to work around the gtk font bug. Works fine in a shell but menu items and the Application Launcher appear not to run a shell first. -- Steve C.

I am not sure if there are other ways but kdm does set LANG via pam_env /etc/environment if you have one. If you are missing that file run dpkg-reconfigure locales. Chris

I saw some archived messages about putting LANG exports into .xsession or .Xsession but that hasn't worked for me. Forcing all users into English is bad as one of 'em is from Germany. :) -- Steve C.
