I installed with English as default language and later switched to Dutch on my test install. When I login to GNOME, I use the system-wide language. (I don't think that kdm lets me do otherwise.) Perhaps you could investigate any Qt- or gtk-specific language settings.

This output correct language 'nb_NO.utf8' and Norwegian text on menus when launching 'nfs'. I could't use this 'su' method in 11.4, due to the GLIB bug as shown in the previous attachment. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Since the shell is then created as a login shell, /etc/profile is sourced, which might explain the odd behavior. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/difference-between-n... Can we consider it a bug if this behavior only occurs in special login shells? You could argue that this behavior is desirable.

I really regret it. Terje is right. 1. I am dealing with two computers: Gateway mx2009m and HP Pavillion TX. One with Gnome (my wife's), another with KDE (mine). It is not an excuse. 2. When I got your message, I tried to realize If I could be mistaked by KDE, under which session the issue is not present, or I indeed tested this issue under Gnome. 3. Then I noticed that I did "su", not "su -". 4. With the first one, my user locales es_ES are taken, but with "su -" are not. 5. So, I take it (and also, me) back. I am very sorry. I now realize that your job and care are very very hard and puzzling, and it is the best experience (and teaching) I have had today.
