+Summary: CurrentCulture problem reading from resx file through ResourceManager
+
+Description of Problem:
+Having an Asp.Net application running on Red Hat/Apache/Mono where the 
+user has to logg in and then the next page displays the information 
+depending on the language of the user. I set the CurrentCulture at the 
+login and read the language-dependent strings from the corresponding resx 
+file. Eg. when user with culture de-DE -> read from dictionary.de-
+DE.resx, culture it-IT -> read from dictionary.it-IT.resx. 
+
+I do it with the System.Resources.ResourceManager
+
+The strange thing is, that - after starting mod_mono -, when I go to the 
+page and connect as User X it works and reads from the corresponding resx 
+file. But, when I try to connect as another user with different culture - 
+all empty strings - it is not read. Trying again to logg in as the first 
+user who logged in to the system after starting it, it works again. 
+
+So: after starting mod_mono/apache, reading from the language dependend 
+resx files works only for the culture of the 1st user who is logging in.. 
+has it something to do with the session? Strange is, that is works on 
+Windows/IIS, where the right language depending on the user settings is 
+displayed.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. start mod_mono and point to log in page
+2. log in as user X, lets say culture de-DE
+3. ok, information on next page is displayed in german
+4. logg out, logg in as user Y, culture en-US
+5. EMPTY strings are displayed, where english one should be
+6. logg out, try user Z, culture it-IT
+7. also EMPTY strings are displayed
+8. try again as user X, ok german strings are displayed correctly
+9. shutdown mod_mono + apache
+10. start again
+11. logg in as user Z with culture it-IT
+12. Italian strings are displayed!!!
+13. trying as user X and Y -- empty strings
+
+Actual Results:
+only the string of the culture of the first user to connect to the system 
+are displayed
+
+Expected Results:
+should read each time from resx file depending on user's culture
+
+How often does this happen? 
+each time
+
+
+Additional Information:
+I access the resource manager so:
+lblTest.Text = ship.BusinessTier.Config.getConfig().getString("test");
+
+// class where resource manager is instantiated
+// CLASS FOR SETTING CONFIG FOR EACH USER / when user logs in I call 
+initConfig()
+using System;
+using System.Globalization;
+using System.Resources;
+
+namespace ship.BusinessTier
+{
+	/// <summary>
+	/// Summary description for Config.
+	/// </summary>
+	public class Config
+	{
+		private static Config currentConfig;
+		private System.Resources.ResourceManager pResourceManager;
+		private System.Globalization.CultureInfo pCurrentCulture;
+
+		//private constructor
+		private Config(string culture)
+		{
+			try 
+			{
+				System.Reflection.Assembly assembly = 
+System.Reflection.Assembly.Load("ship.PresentationTier");
+				pResourceManager = new 
+System.Resources.ResourceManager
+("ship.PresentationTier.resources.dictionary", assembly);
+
+				pCurrentCulture =  new 
+System.Globalization.CultureInfo(culture);
+			} 
+			catch (Exception configEx) {
+				ship.Log.LogFile log = new 
+ship.Log.LogFile();
+				log.Write(configEx.Message, 
+configEx.StackTrace);
+			}
+		}
+
+		/// <summary>
+		/// Returns the value of the current culture in the resx 
+file
+		/// </summary>
+		/// <param name="key"></param>
+		/// <returns></returns>
+		public string getString(string key) {
+			try 
+			{
+				return pResourceManager.GetString(key, 
+pCurrentCulture);}
+			catch (Exception getStringFromResourceEx) 
+			{
+				ship.Log.LogFile log = new 
+ship.Log.LogFile();
+				log.Write
+(getStringFromResourceEx.Message, getStringFromResourceEx.StackTrace);
+				return "ERROR reading from Resource";
+			}
+		}
+
+		public static void initConfig(string culture) {
+			currentConfig = new Config(culture);
+		}
+
+		public static Config getConfig() {
+			return currentConfig;
+		}
+
+		#region property CurrentCulture
+		public CultureInfo CurrCulture 
+		{
+			get { return pCurrentCulture; }
+			set { pCurrentCulture = value; } 
+		}
