Hello, Here a short explanation of the problem I have with Netscape using helix-gnome. I don't have that problem with IceWM. I'm a french speaking people and so I try to have the french version of the program I use in that language. Here after you'll find an explanation of the problem I have with Netscape 4.73. -When I invoke `netscape' from an ordinary gnome-terminal (xterm) prompt Netscape starts in french.; so I have type netscape at the prompt. - When I launch Netscape from the menu or the entry in the panel, Netscape starts in English. That's borrying; for example : - the emails arrive in the Inbox folder in English and arrive in 'Centre de messages' in French. - the startpage doesn't appears... I have the following lines in /etc/profile. LC_CTYPE=ISO-8859-1 LC_ALL=fr_BE LANG=fr LESSCHARSET=latin1 export LC_CTYPE LC_ALL LANG LESSCHARSET I use the latest downloaded RedHat 6.2 distribution with the 2.2.16 kernel. Netscape Communicator 4.73 come from RedHat in rpm package. How can I correct this or is it a bug in gnome or in the netscape wrapper ? With regards, Pierre Thonne Brussels Belgium
What does /etc/sysconfig/i18n have set in it? What does 'set' say in your xterm shell?

OK, if you run 'LC_ALL=fr_FR netscape', does it come up in French? I'm guessing your LC_ALL setting of fr_BE is overriding the 'LANG' setting.
I have tested all sort of things but now I have a working solution : In the property of the the icone, the way the application is started is as follow : gnome-moz-remote --newwin "" I have changed it to : LANG=fr_BE ; gnome-moz-remote --newwin "" And now I have a 'french speaking' netscape. Thanks for your ideas. Cheers Toone
