Description of problem: I have to switch to other locale than my default cs_CZ in order to start gnome-session. Tried en_IE (which unfortunately started in non-UTF8 mode which is pretty broken for me) and now happily using en_DK (which is UTF8). startx does start with cs_CZ with "exec /usr/bin/gnome-session" in ~/.xinitrc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-common-1.4.99.900-0.28.20080304.fc9.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-3.fc9.x86_64 gnome-session-2.21.92-1.fc9.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.900-0.28.20080304.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: 100%
what version of gdm are you running? We fixed a number of serious problems in language selection recently.
gdm-2.21.9-0.2008.02.29.1.fc9.x86_64
Matej, do you still have this problem with newer gdm snapshots ?
yup, live and kicking! Apparently notting was able to reproduce as well.
Talked with mcepl and notting about this on irc today. Apparently uninstalling im-chooser makes things work, so it's blocking start up. Reassigning.
Sure. confirmed. looking into it.
Okay, I see why I have never seen this issue on my box. this should be gone since dbus daemon has been launched from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/00-start-message-bus.sh. and should be supposed to get it first rather than alphabetical filenames. however the result of picking filenames up with the wild-card or the kind of sort depends on current locale. in your case, the alphabetical filenames appears first. so actually imsettings is bringing up before starting. which requires the session bus. I have decided to rename xinput.sh to 99-xinput.sh say to ensure the process order in xinitrc.d anyway.
