I am not saying change the language for the entire session. I am saying change the language for any newly opened instance of an application. Yes, the other would be nice, but I knew that wasn't going to happen. However, for all those people telling me that gdm solves the problem, I have tested this, it shows EVERY language, not the ones shown as valid (in /etc/system-config/i18n) for my system. I don't know, maybe this is best, but to make it simpler for machines with fewer languages being used, it would be nice. Ralf, I am sorry I didn't state it clearly (and maybe not at all) earlier. Have a good one. Trever -- "Black holes are where God divided by zero." -- Unknown
