The file should never have been added and things should ] not be made worse by adding more. So adding new aliases is certainly a bad idea. Note that gdm 2.4 ships this warning at the beginning of its locale.alias file: # NOTE! This is a broken way to do things. Gdm currently reads # languages ONLY from this file. This is Broken(tm). This setup # will be replaced in some future version to be replaced by some # automatic detection of available locales. This file is not # really a locale.alias file and the first word is used as a label # in case gdm doesn't know this language personally, else it's # ignored. Until it is fixed, the best solution is to make gdm maintainer change his mind about #121889, good luck ;) Denis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
