Bug#258223: libx11-6: Please add locale support for et_EE.ISO-8859-15

[Meelis Roos <mroos@linux.ee>]

Package: libx11-6
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-5
Severity: wishlist


After some quarrels about fixing et_EE locale to ISO-8859-15 (the
correct Estonian charset), a new locale was added with the right charset:
et_EE.ISO-8859-15. This locale is in Debian now too and works fine but
X11 libs don't support it:

(gnome-calculator:5778): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib

(gnome-calculator:5778): Gdk-WARNING **: can not set locale modifiers

Would you please add it to the X libraries package so we can use our
fixed locale with all apps.

I wonder why X11 needs a hardcoded list of locales at all instead of
loading the system locale definitions but this is another problem.
