pypanel local error under openbox [SOLVED]

Ive been getting this messgae from pypanel (and sonata) every time i try to launch it:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pypanel", line 948, in <module>
    locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/locale.py", line 513, in setlocale
    return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

I guess im lucky enough to actually see where the error is occurung, but I have no idea what to achange to code to look like. Plus google hasnt been much help. Anyone know how to set it to a proper local?

Re: pypanel local error under openbox [SOLVED]

Ok i managed to fix this myself. The problem was with the autostart.sh that I coped from someone else. His LC_CTYPE was set to japanese so I changed it back to en_US. Plus if anyone else is having issues with this you can try this in terminal:

export LC_CTYPE=en_US

Or change it to whatever it needs to be and it will temporarily give you functionality while you find where the issue actually lies.
