hi,

I've a problem with my locale configuration. I set the /etc/profile with
the a line defining LANG but when using programs in gnome it uses a
diferent locale :-S

$ set | grep LANG
LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1

$ locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

Have you checked the gnome configuration tool (don't remember what it
is). It's possible that Gnome has its own locale settings that it
uses, separate from what you set in /etc/provile.

Did you export the variable? Hm, is there such a locale at all?
I would have thought, that en_US == POSIX.
