Have thought some more about that. Maybe the language list should basically be the intersection of available locales and available langpacks? I wrote a quick-and-dirty Perl script based on that idea (attached), and on my box it outputs this: de.utf8 German en.utf8 English en_AU.utf8 English (Australia) en_CA.utf8 English (Canada) en_GB.utf8 English (United Kingdom) en_NZ.utf8 English (New Zealand) en_US.utf8 English (United States) sv.utf8 Swedish ** Attachment added: "lang-list.pl" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/553162/+attachment/1699267/+files/lang-list.pl -- Set $LANGUAGE if the user picks a different locale in gdm, so that language-selector and gdm stop disagreeing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/553162 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
