How do I control the language used by gtk ?

[Ionutz Borcoman <borco borco-ei eng hokudai ac jp>]

Hi,

In order to be able to use the fontset and the capability to automatic
switch between Romaji/Japanese I have done these:

1. Added to my .bashrc and .bashrc_profile the line:

	export LANG=ja_JP.ujis

2. added:

	gtk_set_locale ();
   
   before anything else in my main function.

3. created a rc file which is loaded and parsed at start time. (rc file
is attached)

Everything is OK with the fontset but I have a problem now: the gtk load
file dialog is displayed now with Japanese text. How do I force it to
use English text ? How do I prevent other applications using Japanese
for messages, etc. ? How do I set locale at running time ?
setlocale(LC_ALL,"ja_JP.ujis") doesn't work correctly :-(

TIA,

Ionutz

PS: my system is Debian Potato with gtk 1.1.11.

style "default"
{
  fontset=
	"-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,
	-jis-gothic-medium-r-normal--18-*-*-*-*-*-jisx0208.1983-0"
}

# it seem require to put `*' before class name...
widget_class "*GtkLabel" style "default"
widget_class "*GtkButton" style "default"
