http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436378 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436378#c12 --- Comment #12 from Gabriele Mohr <gs@novell.com> 2010-04-06 13:11:51 UTC --- 'testutf8' is used at different places in the yast start script. We might avoid the usage to check whether unicode_start has to be called by not setting UTF-8 as default mode. But it is also used to fix the locale settings, e.g. in xterm (see below). Though the comment says "should we do this here" I would recommend to let the script as it is. IMHO 'testutf8' should be restored for the yast start script. /sbin/yast2, line 359 .. case "$TERM" in rxvt*|vt*|xterm*|linux|screen*) # fix locale settings if they are not suitable for the # terminal setting (UTF-8 or not) # But should we really do this here?
