Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
I updated Maverick to Natty and added to the German locale a Russian
one. Russian is the system wide locale, one user uses German locale by
choosing German in the GDM language selection list to get German menus
and messages. The LANG/LANGUAGE/LC_* variables are all set
appropriately.
In GDM in the language list the users now unfortunately get the following list
of languages presented:
1) Unspecified [ANSI_X3.4-1968]
2) German (Germany)
3) German
4) Russian (Russian Federation)
5) Russian
The 'other' entry only lists Russian and German.
The current 'locale -a' is
C
de_DE.utf8
POSIX
ru_RU.utf8
The LANGUAGE environment variable for the German user is set to
'de_DE:de:ru'.
I've tried several times to clean up the locale and start from scratch
only with a Russian one but I can't get rid of the additional entries in
the GDM language selection list. I can't either find a list of GDM
maintained languages I could delete the unneeded languages from.
To sum up what I've done so far is:
- set up locale from scratch - didn't help
- checked the file system for cached GDM files - no one found
- checked with 'gconftool -g /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/recent-languages' the
language settings - the key is empty
- run gdm in debug mode - didn't find anything
Any help would be appreciated.
