used your commandline LC_MONETARY=es_ES gnucash - works a treat, but, 2 
questions....

how do i set enviromental variable & how do i incorporate the commandline 
(LC_MONETARY=es_ES gnucash) into the kmenu system - am using suse 9.3 and 
just want to click on gnucash to bring program up

at the moment my menu is showing this path ('/opt/gnome/bin/gnucash') - and 
need to know how to add the above commandline as an extention to to my path

after using your commanline as above and saving the gnucash account file - 
everything reverts to original format !!



thanx for all your help
