Appears your locale is set too late. Try for instance: 1. killall gnome-terminal (do not run this on Solaris ;) 2. start an xterm 3. start gnome-terminal now see what encoding gnome-terminal selected... Change your config so that the locale is correctly set from gdm. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
