Why not try that ?
That is what I do. It was my 'Step 2'. The need for a second step is doubtful. I'm sure some KDE developer will argue this is how it should be. But that would be pure nonsense. Setting the language so it is only used partially is like being partially pregnant. Meaning that is is in the category of things that are either all on or all off. There is no logical between.
But that won't help with session restore? Or will it? Either way, putting something in ~/.xinitrc that is shared with or calls or sources ~/.bashrc might be more useful and more generic..
It is a more pervasive thing. Take openOffice: KDE shows the ICON on the desktop in the selected locale, but when you start the program, it reverts to English. The locale info is not passed on. Linux uses the locale mechanism to control things like language. If KDE is letting you select the desktop language, it must use that mechanism to communicate this information in the standard Linux method. Simple, really. -- Roger Oberholter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
