But does this change fix the gdm > issue? Basically, the gdm maintainer refuses to include code to parse /etc/environment. While I think parsing it would be a fine solution, I also agree with the fact having a special file for this configuration setting would be better. If you have arguments that can convince Ryan to parse /etc/environment until there is a cleaner solution, please show them. Having it not localized correctly when it is so easy to achieve is slightly annoying - but I fear Ryan is one of those English-speaking maintainers who don't care about proper i18n. -- .''`.
