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)) >> So emacsen started from the menus don't get those environment changes. > I'd suggest to do the locale setting in ~/.profile instead of > ~/.bashrc in order to get consistent settings. 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).
