How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.runs X with locale which is needed XIM(e.g. ja_JP.eucJP)
2.specifies LANG=C and runs gfontsel etc. for example.
3.
	

Actual Results:  segfault.

Expected Results:  runs correctly

Additional info:

If I runs X with LANG=C and LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1 and etc. which needs XIM, it
works fine of course.
Comment 1 Mike A. Harris 2002-02-13 17:29:30 UTC 
I'd say if gfontsel crashed, there is a bug in gfontsel.  There might
be a bug in X that is causing it perhaps, but a bug in gfontsel
for not handling it properly - if this is the case.

Please attach an strace, ltrace also.

Comment 4 Akira TAGOH 2002-02-14 07:24:22 UTC 
This problem is not gfontsel specific.
it can be reproduced with all of gtk+ apps and all of gnome apps and all of kde
apps.
Also if XMODIFIERS environment value is unset, it works fine.

maybe this thread is related?

Comment 5 Mike A. Harris 2002-05-21 14:02:22 UTC 
Is this problem still relevant in 7.3, or does it work ok now?
Comment 6 Akira TAGOH 2002-05-22 03:36:35 UTC 
Sorry, they work fine. so it seems that this problem was fixed in 7.3. I can't
reproduce at least this problem on 7.3.
