When I login my environment is set up as shown here: SHELL=/bin/bash TERM=xterm QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-3.3 QTINC=/usr/lib/qt-3.3/include KDE_FULL_SESSION=true USER=egreshko DESKTOP_SESSION=kde QT_IM_MODULE=xim GDM_XSERVER_LOCATION=local INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=scim No LC_CTYPE environment variable is set. -- Do not worry about which side your bread is buttered on: you eat BOTH sides.
