after having issued the "startx" command, I get from the "ps" command:
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND

which shows Xwindows is running in the background but I do not get an
actual xterm.
interesting detail.....
when is type command "man startx" I see, before the manpage appears, and
after quitting the manpage the following
Unrecognized line in config file (ignored)
JNROFF LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 /usr/bin/groff -Tnippon -mandocj
Unrecognized line in config file (ignored)
KNROFF /usr/bin/groff -Tkorean -mandoc

JNEQN /usr/bin/eqn -Tnippon
Unrecognized line in config file (ignored)
KNEQN /usr/bin/eqn -Tkorean
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\end of output\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
I have no desire to use Xwindows in any other language than
English..............
all suggestions for remedies very welcome!
Thanks for your time and consideration,
Marcel
