FreeBSD 7.0-BETA1 #6: Wed Oct 31 17:53:15 CET 2007
>Description:
GDM lets you chose the language that is used when GNOME
is started. One option is "system default", which
-- until the last update a few days ago -- sets the
locale to the language specified in /etc/login.conf
(":lang=...:" statement).
With the latest gdm update it sets the locale to "C"
when "system default" ist selected. The lang-entry
in /etc/login.conf is ignored.
>How-To-Repeat:
Put something like this under "default:\" in /etc/login.conf:
:lang=de_DE.ISO8859-15:\
Then select "system default" as language in GDM and launch
GNOME. Type "locale" in a terminal and look at the output.
Until recently everything was set to "de_DE.ISO8859-15",
now it's "C".
