--- Comment #12 from Gabriele Mohr 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.

# fix locale settings if they are not suitable for the
# terminal setting (UTF-8 or not)
# But should we really do this here? Isn't it user error
# if the locale settings are not suitable for the terminal
# used?
# the terminal is not in UTF-8 mode, strip .UTF-8 suffix
# from the locale variables:
if [ "$UTF8TESTED" == "yes" -a $UTF8STATUS -eq 1 ] ; then

eval $lc=\${val%%.UTF-8}
eval export $lc
fi
done
# the terminal is in UTF-8 mode so strip any possible suffix from
# the locale variables and append .UTF-8.
# But leave those which are empty or set to POSIX or C alone,
# POSIX.UTF-8, C.UTF-8, or .UTF-8 doesn't make sense (bug #285178).
