Package: locales Version: 2.3.1-17 Severity: normal After installing and configuring locales, setting the system default to en_GB, the contents of /etc/environment and /etc/locales.gen are correct, and the locale command correctly reports en_GB from a console login.
However, from a Gnome 2.2 session spawned from GDM, the locale is incorrectly left at 'C', causing incorrectly formatted dates and other such annoyances. The obvious things (restarting X, rebooting the machine) make ni difference, so there must be a genuine bug somewhere. I'm assuming it's in the locales package, but I suppose it could be the fault of some part of Gnome.
