Probably related to bug 68244. Does it work better if you change LANG in /etc/sysconfig/i18n to en_US and completely restart your X session (including restarting gdm)

I was unable to reproduce this crash on my system. When I run galeon in konsole I only get these messages on my system: IDN support disabled escape UTF-8 enabled I don't know if this makes any difference, but I have Japanese support installed. Here are the contents of my /etc/sysconfig/i18n: LANG="en_US" SUPPORTED="en_US:en:ja_JP.eucJP:ja_JP:ja" SYSFONT="lat0-sun16" SYSFONTACM="iso01" dowdle, what is your LANG currently set to?
I edited /etc/sysconfig/i18n and changed the line that read: LANG="en_US.iso885915" to read LANG="en_US" ...and restarted X (and KDM)... and yes that took care of the problem. For the record, this was from a completely clean install with a formatted / and /home directory so it wasn't a matter of a crufty, stale config file somewhere. That's how Skipjack beta 2 configured it. I installed "Workstation" and selected all of the top level groups (GNOME, KDE, DEVEL, and GAMES, right?). Not trying to gripe, just trying to be informative... and I'm glad you came up with a solution so quickly. Settings->Preferences works great now!
um...i did what recommended fix above, but i still have the problem I get the exact same error
Making the change in /etc/sysconfig/i18n did not work for me, either. Someone mentioned something about japanese support... I've removed several of the rpms that said they provided japanese support (these used to cause dependency problems, but since they didn't anymore I assumed it was safe to get rid of them now). Could that be a factor. I have run the up2date program and have all of the latest packages as of this 4/14 (and BTW... the new splash screens and such in the updated RPMs look great.).
i did the skipjack installation workstation > gnome + devel the only things i've changed is, i've updated gaim to 0.56 and i installed the kernel-source and i've installed the nvidia drivers NVIDIA_kernel and NVIDIA_GLX then i did a fresh installation and i didn't install any files or update anything. i went straight to the choose locale and changed it to en_US. but it still crashes. i just updated all of the packages via up2date without adding anything and the same result.
