    Hi all:

    I've recently moved my home desktop to Sid. When using the Gnome
    terminal's profile, I see "colours" rather than "colors", and when
    changing the desktop background, I see "centred" rather than "centered".
    My preference is for a US English rather than a British English language.

    I have three screenshots showing what I am talking about.

    In Gnome Terminal:

    (Notice there are two spellings of "colors" on this menu)

    When changing backgrounds:
    http://www.penguinsolutions.org/screenshots/centred.png

    Gimp color menu:
    http://www.penguinsolutions.org/screenshots/gimpcolor.png

    As root I have run dpkg-reconfigure locales and selected the two en_US
    locales, and en_US as the default. The resulting output from this
    command follows:

    # dpkg-reconfigure locales
    Generating locales (this might take a while)...
       en_US.ISO-8859-1... done
       en_US.UTF-8... done

    Not all applications have this behavior. For instance, OpenOffice.org 2
    is displaying my locale choices (color, center) correctly.

    What can I do to repair this?

    Thanks,
    Clint
