Description of problem: gedit's default paper size seems to be A4. I've seen this in RHEL 4b1, RHEL 3, and FC3t3. If I'm in a US locale that should default to letter. I've heard reports of this happening with RHEL 3 but I'm having trouble duplicating. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gedit-2.7.92-1 gedit-2.8.0-1 gedit-2.2.2-1 How reproducible: As long as its not already been configured by the user, gedit will choose A4 paper. Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a clean account or remove your gconf registry 2. run gedit 3. look in File->Print->Paper observe the paper size set to A4 Additional info: I see a closed bug that looks similar to this filed against RHL 8.0. #76034. Buts its not quite.
Created attachment 105915 [details] changes Gnome generic postscript printer file to use "USLetter" as page size One way to fix this bug with gedit would be to add this patch to the libgnomeprint22 package. I'm not sure if you would want to do that however for any non US users. (I got the impression that most people outside the US who decide such things wanted this to be set to A4)
