Thanks. You gave me the nudge I needed. The simplest workaround is of course to edit the launcher command to read: env LANG="<locale>" gnome-terminal ... I've had gdm configured to automatically log me in for so long now I'd forgotten that you can set the language for each session at the login screen (and nowhere else!) and if the langauge setting has changed, you are then asked if you would like to make this language the default language setting for subsequent sessions. In the end that was all that was causing the problem. I'd love to know where this information is stored. It's not kept in any of the obvious places. Believe me, I've looked. sdt ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Fri, 19 May 2006 13:15:04 -0600 From: Roe Peterson <roe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: One desktop only on a multihead system? To: gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <446E1938.3090204@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Sorry if it's come up before, but I've searched everywhere I can find. I've got a system with twin monitors, running FC5 and Gnome 2.14. Unlike most other users, I _don't_ want gnome to start a desktop on my second monitor - I have an app that runs fullscreen on the secondary monitor. I have tried everything I can think of to make gnome ignore the second monitor, with no success: - run xinit manually, and manually start gnome-session with: DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-session --display=:0.0 gnome-session --screen=0 without success. The desktop session _always_ grabs my second monitor. So, before I start digging into source code, can anyone offer a semi-desperate newbie some advice? Thanks in advance. ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list End of gnome-list Digest, Vol 25, Issue 15 ****************************************** _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
