Description of problem: gnome does not respect system language settings. They are ignored completely. Every user has to set keyboard and language by himself.

Install RedHat Enterprise Linux 6.4. 2. Set system language and keyboard to, say german 3. Install gnome desktop 4. Login to gnome desktop, open gnome-terminal type german umlaute, watch them displayed as '{[]}' and others. Actual results: After installing gnome then opening any application keyboard layout is US-english, while in any terminal "echo $LANG" tells about "LANG=de_DE.UTF-8" (in gnome terminal typing german umlaut "a" leads to "["). Keyboard-settings are as expected in "/etc/sysconfig/keyboard": KEYTABLE="de" MODEL="pc105" LAYOUT="de" KEYBOARDTYPE="pc" VARIANT="nodeadkeys" Expected results: gnome respecting the system language and system keyboard settings. Additional info: The system settings are respected by X11. Only gnome doesn't use them. The only way out is to set the language and keyboard by a user by user base. This can be annoying, if you have more than only a few users ...!
