From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040301 Description of problem: The pstree output is not formatted correctly when a UTF-8 LANG is set in a gnome-terminal. The -U flag does not help either, but setting LANG to en_US will fix it. The xterm program doesn't have this problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): psmisc-21.3-1.RHEL.0 How reproducible: Always
I suspect this is a gnome-terminal problem. Will evaluate.
I played around some more and I think the problem comes from an inconsistency between the shell's LANG setting and what the gnome-terminal has set for its "Character Coding" option setting, which is made worse by the fact that the gnome/gtk menu indicators don't seem to work in the theme that I use (Crux). If I change my LANG setting in my shell init scripts, then start a gnome-terminal, it just uses its last remembered value for char coding, which is different from what the shell has. Shouldn't the gnome-terminal detect the shell's LANG setting and use that?
