Robert and I just had a long discussion and created http://pad.ubuntu.com/locale-handling to explain the concepts and design.
Unfortunately it is not trivial to only disable the "set $LANG from accountsservice" part, but keeping the "set $LANG from .dmrc" part (which we need for backwards compat and derivatives). But anyway, the current set_language() method is just wrong, and we'll disable it for oneiric final to fix this bug. We will then need to SRU a slightly more intrusive patch to revive reading ~/.dmrc for backwards compatibility. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/864618 Title: UTF-8 locale no longer set To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/864618/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
