For the record, this is P1 6824452: "loginGUI exits when requested to handle a locale which isn't installed on the system"

I filed it as P1 since it prevents you from accessing your system, just because you selected an unusual locale. Very bad.

As I said in the CR, ideally we'll provide localization for all the desktop locales so this can't happen, but if that's not possible at minimum we should fall back on C locale (and in that case we need a better long-term strategy, which I'm working on).

Certainly not. We want the GUI to display localized text in the locales we support. The loginGUI program itself should fall back to C locale if it can't find the requested locale... This is a bug and we'll address it.

Thanks,
