Hi Josselin!
I don't want to play ping pong, but it seems that something fishy is
going on here.

My gdm init file contains is the one from the distribution and it reads
/etc/default/locale
My /etc/default/locale contains:
export [EMAIL PROTECTED]
export LANGUAGE="en_IT:en_US:en_GB:en"
export LC_COLLATE=C
export LC_MESSAGES=C
(both tried, with and without export)
Still, my gdm failsafe xterm session has
$ locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
I checked that maybe my /etc/X11/Xsession.d contains something bad: I
added a file 00testlocale to it and just called
locale > /tmp/bla
and already there the settings are as above. So the settings are *not*
reset in one of my xsession.d files.
Best wishes
Norbert
