Description of Problem: I have installed Skipjack beta-2 using US-English as my language environment. My /etc/sysconfig/i18n file looks like this; LANG="en_US.iso885915" SUPPORTED="en_US.iso885915:en_US:en" SYSFONT="lat0-sun16" SYSFONTACM="iso15" The file /etc/profile.d/lang.sh sets LANG on the basis of this file. Some file, perhaps /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/xinput, results in LANG being set to en_US instead of en-US.iso885915 under certain circumstances including booting into runlevel 5 and logging in via gdm. If one attempts to start X with LANG (or perhaps other locale-related variables) set to en-US.iso885915, you receive multiple instances of this warning: Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C and some things don't work properly, especially in the area of displaying strings. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-6.61-1, xinitrc-3.20-1 How Reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot into runlevel 3 2. log in on the console 3. start X with xinit 4. observe on the vc from which X was started the above warning 5. run twm & 6. notice the title is "Untitled" Actual Results: The value of LANG is set to something that is not supported under X Expected Results: LANG should be adjusted appropriately within X regardless of whether X was started by gdm or in some other way. Additional Information: I hope my attempt at analysis has not obscured the problem. It seems that the whole way in which LANG is set in or out of X is fairly involved and is spread across multiple locations. The main issue is that LANG is set badly in X not started from prefdm (or something similar to that). This problem was introduced between skipjack beta-1 and beta-2.
Already fixed in anaconda CVS... iso15 added to the wrong field in the lang-table so LANG got set to the bogus value instead of just changing SYSFONTACM. Fix is to just change LANG in /etc/sysconfig/i18n to en_US.

This error also occurs using a graphical login to Gnome. Correcting /etc/sysconfig/i18n to the same values listed in the equivalent RH 7.2 (Enigma) /etc/sysconfig/i18n file do not correct this problem.
