Thank you Will, but it seems I have not properly understood the language/charset stuff. The proplem is not the displayed language. It is in danish, as I expect. The problem is that the danish letters are all wrong in applications started through kdesu. (su from konsole has the same problem.) Everything I start with kdesu assumes ISO-8859-1 encoding. So both file names and file contents display the danish letters wrong, since they are UTF-8 encoded. Doing a real root login, from kdm, assumes the right encoding (UTF-8). Where do I tell kdesu to assume UTF-8 encoding for the applications it starts?
