Hi Tony,

See below - looks like we discussed this before as the same thing was
happening with the Xubuntu 8.10 CD that I posted back in March.

Tony,

I just compared an installation of the March Xubuntu 8.10 CD to the
new Ubuntu 9.04 CD.  The March one definitely does output the same
warnings that you are seeing.  If I type export LANG=C in the terminal
before I launch Xastir, then the problem goes away.  It's not sticky,
though, so I have to enter it every time before starting Xastir.  On
the new CD, the problem is not there.  I'm guessing the reason is
either due to a difference in defaults between Xubuntu and Ubuntu or
between the 8.10 version and the 9.04 version.

Regards,
Lee
