Re: User issue

Hi Kai,

Below is the output of `locale` for when I use default locale, LANG=en_US and LANG=en_US.UTF-8. Also including the warnings I get when starting Meld. Unfortunately there are no other apps using GTK on the machine and I cannot tell if Meld is the only tool behaving this way.

I haven't seen this one before, and I would have guessed that there
were some people running Meld on Solaris. Do other GTK applications
show similar behaviour, or is it just Meld? Also, could you post the
output of `locale`?

cheers,
