Setting LANG env on Ubuntu

[David Harel]

Hi,

I use Ubuntu Jaunty release 9.04.
On my last attempt to update openoffice to 3.1 (from repository: 
http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu) I noticed that 
openoffice can't do Hebrew file names anymore. I also got some warnings 
from other tools such as digikam regarding locale settings.
Digging into this problem I noticed that my LANG env is set to "C":
$ echo $LANG
C

When I set it to: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 , both openoffice and digikam were fine.
I also noticed that when I login on text mode (such as ssh localhost) I 
get the LANG settings as expected: en_US.UTF-8

Also I just tried to update my system  and I tried to remove all my dot 
files and I tried to switch from xfce4 to Gnome but nothing seems to 
resolve this problem.
Any idea?

David Harel,
