It should do the same, shouldn't it?
I have attached my ~/.xsession and ~/.tdlocale (because I have a special
setup). I use de_DE.UTF-8 and I asume you too.
Can you try it out?

There is a thing I remember on MY system...
Can you post the contents of
/etc/default/locale
/etc/environment
and the stuff getween the
# ---- language-env DON'T MODIFY THIS LINE!
# ---- language-env DON'T MODIFY THIS LINE!
lines?
I have:
----[ '/etc/default/locale' ]-------------------------------------------
LANG=en_US
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----[ '/etc/environment' ]----------------------------------------------
LANG=C
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----[ '~/.tdlocale' ]---------------------------------------------------
export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
export LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=de
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently it is realy weird, since /etc/environment is deprecated and
replaced by /etc/default/locale and now I have found it again on my
system. Currently I do not know which program has recreated the file...
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
