Package: xfce4-session
Version: 4.4.2-1
Severity: normal
My default system language is pl_PL.UTF8, but I use English language for
my user account. I had added few lines to /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc to get
the locales setting from user accounts, and all was fine until some
recent upgrade.
The problem on my system is that xfce4-session is called from xinitrc
with LANG=C set, but all applications that are not lunched from a
terminal get pl_PL.UTF8(the default system wide setting) somehow now.
I have done some homework. I have disabled xfce4-session simply by
renaming it, and when I started the desktop without it, the locale was
set correctly for everything. I am sure that xfce4-session gets the
locale, because I have also created a script with its name and dumped
the $LANG value to check it. While starting, the xfce4-sessions shows
English messages also. So I assume that xfce4-session is guilty here and
does not pass the locale setting to services it is starting.
Best regards,
Andrzej Zięba

Well this code from main.c explains the behaviour:
/* this is for compatibility with the GNOME Display Manager */
lang = g_getenv ("GDM_LANG");
if (lang != NULL)
{
xfce_setenv ("LANG", lang, TRUE);
xfce_unsetenv ("GDM_LANG");
}
I do not know if it is the right thing to do with environment, I was bit
surprised when my language setting just stopped to work.
Yet I like the idea of setting xfce session language through GDM user
language setting. It should be better documented though.
Regards.
