Hello,
I have someone who is connected to a Redhat machine which has multiple people connected to it, he is experiancing a strange issue.
he connects to the machine but his desktop appears to be Estonian

can anyone suggest where i may go to change this?
I have looked in a few locations but everything appears to be correct,

locale displays everything as en_GB.UTF-8
# locale
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Google hasnt suggested much other than an locale option that has to be changed, Im still quite new to linux so dont know where i should be looking.
all other people connecting to this machine has no issues, we are running on Redhat 5.6

many thanks

If you login as this user do you also see Estonian? If so it is almost certainly in the user's $HOME directory. Look at files starting with a dot (do ls -la from command line). Compare those against another user who is working. (Note that owner of the files should be different as each user should own his own files.)

Just for an FYI we resolved this issue by copying the users Home directory to a new location
took note of the users details from an id so we had the prevous uid and gid
recreated the users account and home directory with the same user ID, re-assigned the uid and gid to the new account.
with the new home directory tested the user didnt have issues when logging in, then proceeded to copy accross folders from his previous old home directory and relogged him in untill we found the folder which was causing the issue.

found to be one folder, .kde
havent found which item within there is causing the issue due to time restraints, when i get some time i will investigate.

many thanks for your suggestions

Glad you got it fixed.
