Well, I'd expect that result if the ar_EG locale is in fact not fully and correctly installed on your machine (and that's not exactly a common locale, you must admit). Question #1) Does the shell command locale -a output a list of locales that includes ar_EG ? Question #2) How exactly did you add this locale data (for ar_EG) to your system? I would have expected sudo locale-gen ar_EG but please confirm/correct me on this! I am unable to confirm the issue with the ar_EG locale at all: sudo locale-gen ar_EG LC_ALL=ar_EG locale works for me. At this point, my suspicion is that the bug as originally reported may be related to how early GNOME stuff is started up, and that the corrupted locale issue is some sort of installation issue or problem with the process by which the ar_EG locale was installed onto your system.
