I use ISO-8859-2 encoding (LANG=pl-PL). I tried with en-US too. But I 
don't know is it the same problem. Thuban ends its work just after Map 
-> New Layer (not after start). I tried with my shapes and maps 
delivered with Thuban.
I tried FC2 RPM but I didn't have wxGTK2 and wxPython2 packages (only 
wxGtk-2.4.2 and wxPython-...), so I had to recompile it from SRPM. I 
checked current CVS too but always it exited after try to open new layer.
Can You open any layer even under not UTF-8 encoding?

Thanks for reply

P.S. Did you use something special to compose last message? It hangs my
