Bug#411639: x11-common: Variables don't work outside of shells
Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.3+9
Followup-For: Bug #411639
Hey, this is a very good idea. I've been trying to figure out a clean way
to do this for quite some time.
However, with the current solution, I'm stuck: I updated the package,
created my .xsessionrc and put
export LC_TIME=en_DK
in there to have ISO 8601-dates everywhere. (German people still haven't
realized that this is the new standard for over 10 years now, and Ulrich
Drepper from Redhat apparently doesn't want to change the de_DE locale
accordingly... whatever!)
Anyway, I checked from inside an xterm shell (bash) if the variable was
actually set, and there it was. Starting e.g. Icedove from the shell
gave me the expected date format.
Starting Icedove from the Xfce Panel, however, still has the old date
format (en_US or C, whatever I set as system default). Is there maybe an
incompatibility with the xfce4-session script or am I missing something
else?
Regards, Andre
