Well fiddle sticks, that didn't work. I added the following lines to the
/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/XFce4 file...
  if [ -f " $HOME/.bash_profile " ] ; then
   source $HOME/.bash_profile ;
  fi

All I need to do is get the LANG="en_US" ; export LANG to be set, this
will allow me to use my acrobat reader again, the rest I'm fine setting
manually, its just I can't get the browser to work without this.
