So you said me that a global setting override the user choice. With xdm, I use a .Xsession where I can set my locale setting. With startx, I use .xinitrc. But with gdm, the normal way to set your locale is to choose the language from the language menu. This should work even if the /etc/environment file said "C". And I know that gdm works fine.
This is for my gdm problem which keeps me to xdm. How can I reassign the bug ?
