The following applications are starting-up slow

xcalc, xclock, xfontsel, xman, xmessage

when running from the terminal:

Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion

What gives this command: "LC_ALL=C xcalc" ?

XCalc starts-up immediately (terminal gives no comment).
But what exactly is the cause of the problem, if it is a problem?

I can confirm the slow start, and the LC_ALL=C fix it

@Duncan_Idaho
Thanks for the heads up.

Just for the record:
http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Faqs# ... .6_is_slow...

Fluxbox 0.9.6 is slow...

Add the following line to your .xinitrc before you exec fluxbox:
Code: Select all
export LC_ALL=C
