Some apps revert to english when logged-in through qingy

Hi,

I have all the programs I normally use configured in spanish. Yesterday I started testing some login managers to replace kdm, which is the one I've been using so far. I found qingy and after some checks I think I will continue using it. But if I use it instead of kdm, some apps (firefox, claws-mail, oppenoffice, thunar...) start in english. It seems that only the gtk apps have this strange bahaviour, because konqueror or amsn still appear in spanish.

This happens only if I use the openbox menu, if I start an xterm terminal and launch the apps from the command line, they appear in spanish.

Also, I don't know if this is the cause of the problem, I have one defunct X process:

And finally, skim doesn't work when logged-in through qingy, I can´t launch it anymore with Ctrl+space, even is the process is running.

I'd like to keep qingy, but if I can't solve this little mess I will go back to kdm.
