Hi,
The new /etc/rc.sysinit introduced in initscripts-2010.07-1 has changed
the original behavior of locale settings.
The Code explains better:
369 # Flush old locale settings
370 : >| /etc/profile.d/locale.sh
371 /bin/chmod 755 /etc/profile.d/locale.sh
372 # Set user defined locale
373 [ -z "$LOCALE" ] && LOCALE="en_US"
375 echo "export LANG=$LOCALE" >>/etc/profile.d/locale.sh
Now it flushes /etc/profile.d/locale.sh everytime the system boots. Usually
this means
setting `export LANG=en_US.UTF-8' on most computers, and to be included
by shell (.bashrc or .zshrc) everytime, if the user included it at all.
I.e.: source /etc/profile
But for multilingual users, due to the fact that the initial console
only displays ASCII, we often write the local LANG and LC_ALL setting in
xinitrc, so to make an environment that uses English under console and
local (multibyte) language within Xorg.
With the introduction of /etc/profile.d/locale.sh, it would make a
problem that cause Xorg program still using en_US when where we wanted
zh_TW or zh_CN.
My solution is as follows, changing some code in /etc/profile:
49 if test -d /etc/profile.d/; then
50 for profile in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
51 if [[ $profile == "/etc/profile.d/locale.sh" && -n
$DISPLAY ]]; then
52 continue
53 fi
54 test -x $profile && . $profile
55 done
56 unset profile
57 fi
