When i kill XDM, and start X by:
export LANG=pl_PL; export LC_ALL=pl_PL; export LC_CTYPE=iso-8859-2; startx
everything works OK - I get the Polish characters.
However, when I kill XDM, and then restart it (as root) by:
export LANG=pl_PL; export LC_ALL=pl_PL; export LC_CTYPE=iso-8859-2; xdm
The locales are not set in my X session...
Finally, after analysis of the /etc/X11/Xsession, I've decided to
create the /etc/environment file:
export LANG=pl_PL
export LC_ALL=pl_PL
export LC_CTYPE=iso-8859-2
After that, when I've restarted the XDM, everything works perfectly.
Is it the proper way to set locales for X sessions?
BTW. Why the /etc/environment is not sourced by the standard debian
/etc/profile?
