Hello
(Puting icewm maintainer in CC for he to know...)
I was searching how to solve a recent bug "in icewm", and now, thanks to
this bug report, I find it.
The bug sintoms are that the window titles (in firefox for example) with some
locale especial character, like accent marks and so, get truncated at this
special character point. And in the Icewm About window, the CodeSet field
changes from UTF-8 (in my case) to ANSI_X3.4-1968...
The problem was, too, that localepurge 0.7.3.9 had delete the files in
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8.
Apliying the sugested workaround in this bugreport by Michel Casabona (many
thanks!!) solved the problem:
- sudo dpkg-reconfigure localepurge, and select to NO purge en_US.UTF-8
- sudo apt install --reinstall libx11-data
- logout and login to Icewm. Solved!!
For you to know, my locale set in /etc/default/locale is:
LANG=eu_ES.UTF-8
So, yes, localepurge need to keep en_US.UTF-8 in /usr/share/X11/locale/.
Greetings. Martintxo.
