Bug#268370: a problem with /etc/default/gdm ?

[Florian Schlichting <f.schlichting@ucl.ac.uk>]

Hi,

the problem is solved now, and I believe it to be related to a setting
in /etc/default/gdm. For some reason, the file contained the following:

# GDM Defaults, source in the init script that starts GDM.  LANG setting is
# taken from the locales package by default.
LANG=de_DE
export LANG

I have changed the third line to LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 so (together with my
settings in ~.xsession) I have the all-unicode system I want (perhaps
this was a problem of gdm/X running with iso and oowriter with UTF-8
locale?). Big CAVEAT: I tried to change that setting back today to
reproduce the problem two weeks after it went away by fiddling, and I
can't reproduce it...
