Cool.  I hadn't realized this problem with RH 7.1, probably cause I
don't work much from the command line at home where I've upgraded.
But I'm upgrading at work where I do and this would be a big annoyance
for me.  Thanks for pointing this out.

That was it exactly.  I found that it was being set in
/etc/sysconfig/i18n (not the first pllace I looked, but I guess it
makes sense).  Changed it to "C" and it started working.

Strangely enough, it also make konqueror work for me.  I was on the
verge of switching from RH 7.2 to Mandrake 8.1 cause I couldn't ever
get Konqueror to work.  It still gives me errors, but at least it will
display.

Thanks,

Michael
