'[...] will end up in all LC_* environment variables being set' - I don't quite follow here. env | grep LC_ comes up empty for me, only LANG is sent. Who is setting all the LC_ variables for you ? 2. 'Users should be able to adjust their LC_* preferences [...]' is far to vague imo. What users can be expected to set, reasonably, is their language and location. Anything beyond that, like picking a default paper size or time format, seems to be much to specialized for a general purpose capplet, and is much better done where it is needed (ie paper size in the print dialog, time format in the clock). 3. Note that we are aiming more or less at obsoleting s-c-date with the intlclock work. 4. There is some existing, unfinished code in gnome-control-center for a 'Locale' capplet, see http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-control-center/trunk/capplets/localization/ Matthias -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
