Hi, Havoc,

I'm not successful:

using "LANG=de_DE gnome-terminal --disable-factory" starts a
gnome-terminal, but it has problems to accepts special chars
like German umlauts: typing chars as "ü" for example produces
messages like

        ** (gnome-terminal:20073): WARNING **: Error (Invalid or in-
        complete multibyte or wide character) converting data for
        child, dropping,

but no "ü" char.

On the other hand, I have no problem with such chars when using
"Terminal->Character Coding->Unicode (UTF-8)" in the gnome-terminal menu.
What I'm doing wrong?


Regards
