Hi Roe,

Have you tried not pluging in your monitor until after you destop
session starts?

Thanks.  You gave me the nudge I needed.

The simplest workaround is of course to edit the launcher command to
read:

  env LANG="<locale>" gnome-terminal ...

I've had gdm configured to automatically log me in for so long now I'd
forgotten that you can set the language for each session at the login
screen (and nowhere else!) and if the langauge setting has changed,
you are then asked if you would like to make this language the
default language setting for subsequent sessions.

In the end that was all that was causing the problem.

I'd love to know where this information is stored.  It's not kept in
any of the obvious places.  Believe me, I've looked.

Sorry if it's come up before, but I've searched everywhere I can
find.

I've got a system with twin monitors, running FC5 and Gnome 2.14.

Unlike most other users, I _don't_ want gnome to start a desktop on
my second monitor - I have an app that runs fullscreen on the secondary
monitor.

I have tried everything I can think of to make gnome ignore the second
monitor, with no success:
    - run xinit manually, and manually start gnome-session with:
          DISPLAY=:0.0
          gnome-session --display=:0.0
          gnome-session --screen=0

without success.  The desktop session _always_ grabs my second monitor.

So, before I start digging into source code, can anyone offer a 
semi-desperate
newbie some advice?

Thanks in advance.
