Bug #161970 Language setting not retained - OLDLOCALE not stored in Linguistic.xml!

[Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz>]

Dear All,

Found the cause of bug #161970 - When operating openoffice configured for more than one locale,
~/.openoffice/1.0.1/user/config/registry/instance/org/openoffice/Linguistic.xml will not store the 
default locale used as looked for by the /usr/bin/openoffice script.  This results in the OLDLOCALE variable in the /usr/bin/openoffice script always being set to en-US, and the previous sessions language locale settings being overwritten.

Say you live in New Zealand, people send you documents with en-NZ in parargraphs, you work in en-GB, and also have to cope with en-US...  New Zealand uses UK spellings, and so I installed en_GB.zip UK dictionary to cope.

I have inserted my Linguistics.xml

PS - as a work around I commented out the locale changing stuff in the /usr/bin/openoffice shell script.

Hope that this helps.

Best Regards,

Matthew Grant
