Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib



I used 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' to set the system locale to
en_GB.ISO-8859-15. I then tell GDM to use the system default when I log
in. It looks like this does what I expected!

I kept getting Gdk warnings in X though :-(

The file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias is involved somehow I
found out. Adding the following two lines (and restarting X) seems to
fix it:

 en_GB.ISO-8859-15                               en_GB.ISO8859-15
 en_GB.ISO-8859-15:                              en_GB.ISO8859-15

Is this a bug that should be reported?

I'd be even happier if I were able to use en_GB.utf8, but support seems
to be lacking (in X at least). Or maybe I'm just missing some crucial
package here?
