After adding procfs entry to fstab, gdm has got to started reading user home's .dmrc file, e.g., like follow: ---- [Desktop] Language=ja_JP.UTF-8 Layout=us ---- So I have no big annoying matter to check out Language every login time or adding default Language configuration to system config files. Thanks :) p.s. But if you have interested in to add gdm_lang="ja_JP.UTF-8" to /etc/rc.conf, I guess it's still good idea because gdm changes their face to use that language. I want to know opinions of other gnome folks. How about of this idea? > eveyone If no objections, I want to add change to RCng startup script.
