Boa Constructor under Linux... How to make it work?

[Jean-Luc Bedwani]

Finally fixed the warning message by changing the $HOME/.gtkrc content to
use another GTK theme.

Thanks to you Mike!

However this was not my real Display problem. The problem is caused by the
character set used. The environment variable LANG was set to en_US.UTF-8 . I
simply changed it to en_US and Boa worked properly.

This information was found in the
boa-constructor-users at lists.sourceforge.net .
