I have remarked an oddity with alternative desktop definitions in dtlogin.

If I create under /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources.d/

a file 250.session with content

Dtlogin*altDtsIncrement: True
Dtlogin*altDtName: MWM
Dtlogin*altDtKey: /usr/bin/mwm
Dtlogin*altDtStart: /etc/dt/config/Xsession.mwm
Dtlogin*altDtLogo: /usr/share/icons/mwm.xpm

and the script Xsession.mwm starts the Motif Window Manager, I am shown MWM among

the possible sessions, but If I pick an MWM session, CDE starts instead of MWM.

However, if I first define a language, say fr_FR.UTF-8, and then choose MWM I start the Motif Window Manager. Moreover, even if I choose C as the locale, in the language menu, MWM will start.

I have seen that behavior in CDE 2.4.0 with PAM enabled on Slackware 15.0 32bit intel. I suspect it is

caused by an undefined locale when dtlogin starts. I am curious if the same behavior has been seen

on different configurations.
