hi, this is a follow up of another thread. Attached to this message there is a new version of the XPrompt with i18n support. Actually, IXPrompt.hs is what XPrompt will look like, but first I need to fix the FIXME stuff, which requires importing the XwcLookupString function. Otherwise I need to use toLocale to translate the string I receive with XLookupString. The Xwc* family function are already part of x11-extras. Only the lookupString function is missing, and it requires, I think - still I didn't look it closely -, a Storable instance. When I'll have that function imported XPrompt will be encoding independent and I will be able to have only the IShellPrompt, which is fully i18n aware, requiring the locale C stuff that is presently in IXPromptLib.hsc. The goal is to have a default, not i18n, prompt without any external dependency, and specific prompts i18n aware which will require calling setlocale() and the related C stuff. Hope to finish this stuff before x11-extras-0.4 will be released, otherwise we will have to wait the post 0.4 cycle. Andrea
