Ok.  Good tip!  Thanx!  (of course the issue isn't a problem with the
current setting.  Basically I would like Norwegian locale settings,
wrt. to time zone, time formatting, keyboard layout, input methods
etc. but I prefer English names in menus, menu entries and error
messages (it makes it easier to google for stuff))

Hm... I have a ~/.profile file that sources ~/.bashrc if present.  There
are also comments in the ~/.profile saying it won't be read, if there is
a ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login present.

And there is a ~/.bash_profile present, which also sources ~/.bashrc.

There is no ~/.bash_login (or ~/.login).

So I dunno.

Hm... ~/.bashrc is only read if in a bash.  Perhaps the shell, or
whatever, that launches the Gnome desktop is not a bash?

Will it help putting those settings directly in .profile?  Of course,
with a ~/.bash_profile present, that .profile will never be read in a
bash window...

This stuff is _confusing_...!  I guess that's why I put off messing with
it until something breaks so badly that I just _have_ to fix it (I have
my home directory checked into SVN, and what's in there have migrated
from SunOS through Solaris and several linuxen, as well as cygwin, until
it's gotten to where it is today).
