I use the command line with 'ls'.  I am sure.  Do you notice any Non-US
spellings in Open Office?  If you create another user and set it for US
spellings are they American?

In my experience, there doesn't seem to be a difference after toasting
the said file.  'About Gnome' continues to use Spanish.  It must be
(correctly) using the LANG environment variable.  Open Office is just
locale settings dumb.  Using neither the environment nor the Gnome
specific file.  For a multilingual office it is a matter of having two
copies of Open Office for now.
