# # Already done by the GDM # test -z "$GDM_LANG" || return
Can you edit /etc/profile.d/lang.sh and see if it helps?
I thought I had already answered this? Maybe I wrote the comment and forgot to commit. Anyway, yes, I commented out that line, and yes, the locale in gnome changes according to the .i18 file. Thanks. Perhaps that file should be updated?

that is that ~/.i18n was a feature request ... beside this, the GNOME people had told me that GNOME does the I18N stuff in its own fashion way (which is also true for modern ssh connections).
If this has changed now the line should be removed.
Well, with GDM, we can set the language and keyboard layout of the user session. However, this bug report is apparently about the fact that with ~/.i18n, more detailed locale settings can be changed (like LC_TIME), so it's not just about the language. And here, GDM can't do anything. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

How does this fit with https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=807091#c19
I'm sorry, I don't know. It was not my decision to mark one as duplicate of the other, I think they are not. Related, yes; same bug, no. Maybe you can undo the duplication, and they will listen to you (but not to me). The original report here, #0, was back in 2009, so I have lost track of what works because I hacked the scripts myself and what works out of the box + mandatory patches.

Currently the /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession parses the arugments on its command line to serach for string with underscore ([a-z][a-z]_[A-Z][A-Z]* to be exact) ... Has this changed that means does GDM use both command line arguments as well as environment variables?
In the other bug I commented that XDM works correctly. In 12.3 I have not installed GDM, so I haven't tested it. (and I have hacked the script later, as a workaround, so in order to test it I would have to undo it first)
Nevertheless I prefere to add your lines of shell code to /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession instead of /etc/profile.d/lang.sh as the later script will be also used on the console as well as with e.g. slogin/ssh and with su -l
Well, text terminals work, they import correctly ~/.i18n without any change. IIRC, ssh works, to. I'd have to re-verify, -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
