Bug#191156: locales: After configuring locales to en_GB, Gnome session retains 'C' setting
Package: locales
Version: 2.3.1-17
Severity: normal
After installing and configuring locales, setting the system default to
en_GB, the contents of /etc/environment and /etc/locales.gen are
correct, and the locale command correctly reports en_GB from a console
login.
However, from a Gnome 2.2 session spawned from GDM, the locale is
incorrectly left at 'C', causing incorrectly formatted dates and other
such annoyances. The obvious things (restarting X, rebooting the
machine) make ni difference, so there must be a genuine bug somewhere.
I'm assuming it's in the locales package, but I suppose it could be the
fault of some part of Gnome.
Mike.
