ok please verify stuff before you tell me i am wrong. because i am not!

on shell:
r...@om-gta02:~# locale
LANG=de_AT.utf-8
LC_CTYPE="de_AT.utf-8"
LC_NUMERIC=de_AT.utf-8
LC_TIME=de_AT.utf-8
LC_COLLATE=de_AT.utf-8
LC_MONETARY="de_AT.utf-8"
LC_MESSAGES=de_AT.utf-8
LC_PAPER="de_AT.utf-8"
LC_NAME="de_AT.utf-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_AT.utf-8"
LC_TELEPHONE=de_AT.utf-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=de_AT.utf-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_AT.utf-8"
LC_ALL=


but within e17:
LANG=de_AT
LC_CTYPE="de_AT"
LC_NUMERIC="de_AT"
LC_TIME="de_AT"
LC_COLLATE="de_AT"
LC_MONETARY="de_AT"
LC_MESSAGES="de_AT"
LC_PAPER="de_AT"
LC_NAME="de_AT"
LC_ADDRESS="de_AT"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_AT"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_AT"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_AT"
LC_ALL=de_AT


e17 sets all the vars (to wrong values) including LC_ALL !!
and with these settings navit is about 50km off target!!


why are you fighting my all the time, just fix it and put in the shell script 
again.
i can't believe it. instead of fixing it, which takes 10seconds you guys are 
fighting me all the way for months now.
what are you trying to proof???


also for car navigation navit setting are all wrong. map is always pointing to 
north. display is not following car.
if you guys are never using navit, then just put my stuff in (you dont car).
if you ARE indeed using it then you should have the same problems as me and --> 
just put my stuff in.

thats another question. why is navit getting wrong location with LC_ALL set? we 
should talk with the guys from navit.
but thats not in "our" hands to fix.
