Look at /usr/share/locale for a good list.

You can play with ~/.login_conf.  gdm should use the locale settings in
this file.  If you're not using gdm, you can still play with
.login_conf, or you can set your locale variables in ~/.xinitrc.  I
recommend setting LANG and CHARSET explicitly.  Try to use the format:

en_US.ISO_8859-1

Instead of the newer:

en_US.ISO8859-1

Both should work (and if you find bugs, let us know), but many apps
assume the former.

Galeon doesn't have a GNOME 2 version yet.  Gnumeric does, but I haven't
had the time to port it.  If you'd like to give it a go, please send
your patches.
