I think the best answer to the question why we used the ~/.dmrc "Language" field for storing language is that we converted the locale chooser of GDM 2 to a language chooser. We did talk about the risk for confusion, but adamant? Not as far as I recall.
It struck me that the language2locale() function I mentioned relies on an Ubuntu specific accountsservice patch, so it can't be used in the way I suggested in my previous comment anyway. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868149 Title: Need to set $LANG from .dmrc for backwards compatibility To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/868149/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
