Which WindowManager do you use?
I start "fvwm" at the end of the ~/.xsession which is the preuve, that
~/xsession IS executed from WDM, even XDM, GDM and KDM.
If I understand WDM right, it is not intent to source
/etc/default/locale
or
/etc/environment
IF you use the ~/.xsession, it is up to you, seting the right locale.
Callin a XTerm is executing your default SHEL as non-login shel which is
for example bash which then source ~/.bashrc and your locales are right
because they are set there.
So, if you want o have the same behavoir, you should include in
~/.xsession
the same sniplet as in the
~/.bash_login
or
~/.bash_profile
exactly:
if [ -f ${HOME}/.bashrc ] ; then
. ${HOME}/.bashrc
fi
