Seems I also had to also set GDM_LANG in /etc/sysconfig/i18n! This was
due to the fact that /etc/profile.d/lang.sh sets LANG to en_US.UTF-8 if
GDM_LANG is not set.
Anyone know what the %$#% GDM_LANG is?
BTW, the Redhat language configuration utility writes
/etc/sysconfig/i18n. If in that you choose "English, American" you get
the en_US.UTF-8 setting.
Anyone know where the Redhat language configuration utility gets its
list of languages and their settings from?
