Re: Who sets default locale environment?

["Pedro Sanchez" <psanchez@nortelnetworks.com>]

Unfortunately the default seems to be "null" rather than "none" and
those seem to be different. All GDK applications for example warn about
the missing locale

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library

I fix this by doing "export LANG=C" which should be in the default
/etc/profile I believe.
