That's very interesting. Actually the environment for both users, as I
can extract from the logs, is nearly identical with this exception:

* From gnome-control-center (FAIL):
  envp[19]="LANG=es_GT.UTF-8"

* From CUPS web interface (OK):
  envp[19]="LANG=C"

Could this possible be related to the kind of problems you experienced?

Thanks,
Mario
