Hi Gunnar, Both Micah and I gave clear information on why we undid the duplication. they are two different bugs: * One affecting the interaction between gdm and language-selector in setting LANG and LANGUAGE (and somewhere along the way it seems language-selector seems to fail setting LC_* as well?). * One affecting Firefox (and also other apps such as OpenOffice.org, for which there is a task in one of the duplicates), where it does not support the $LANGUAGE variable. It does not matter if fixing gdm/language-selector will hide the second bug: Firefox and other apps will still not support $LANGUAGE. If they are used in environments where the vast majority of applications support gettext, I think it's a valid request to expect them to implement the gettext variables, so they do not have to be special-cased. > I have noticed that you reverted my action, so I now understand that > you, unlike me, prefer to consider inability to recognize LANGUAGE to be > a bug per se.
