Created attachment 483528 [details] Fix session LANG with new gdm Description of problem: UTF support in XFCE due to gdm change. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xfce4-session-4.8.1, gdm >= 2.91 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to XFCE session 2. Start a program such as terminal 3. Edit / read non-ascii content Actual results: Non-ASCII characters are shown as question marks in terminal, XFCE GUI programs such as the file manager complain of invalid encoding if non-ascii characters are used in file names, gnome-terminal thinks its character encoding is ANSIX3.4-1968 etc. Expected results: Non-ascii characters should cause no problems. Additional info: xfce-session blindly resets LANG to the value of GDM_LANG if its set. The new Gnome 3 gdm sets GDM_LANG to an empty string, causing xfce-session change a proper LANG value to an empty string, causing this issue. Attached patch fixes it. AFAICT both rawhide are affected.
