	Ultimately that's not a good solution, since b-a-s might be kicking
around across sessions or somesuch crack.

	I'd like to sit down and get this really right at some stage, and
re-spawn processes with different LANG setups [as we do for displays]
work out how to do the multi-display stuff correctly, and so on and so
on.

	It's a matter of getting a decent design that will handle the myriad
environment variables, and do sensible things for the special ones, and
something intelligent for the less special ones. But I'd rather have a
coherent design than a series of hacks we have to support.

	Does that make sense ?

	Regards,

		Michael.
