I can't find that line in Ros-Session/AppRun.

   Also can't find that menu. Are we talking about the same release ?


   As you can see, ICEWM ALONE runs with no problem now. I have my
slashes /////\\\\ and my apostrophe '''''
and no accented characters. If I load ROX, or run startx (which was
setup by Rox-Session, my slashes turn into accented e's etc etc.

   This problem is driving me batty :)
