Description Hedayat Vatankhah 2011-05-09 07:26:22 UTC 
Description of problem:
After recent gnome-shell update, I'm unable to login when fa locale is selected. The contents of xsession-errors is attached. I can login if my locale is US English. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to system settings and set your language to Persian
2. log out and try to login again
  
Actual results:
Gnome-shell crashes with the attached error messages

Expected results:
Successfull login

Additional info:
In gdm, if I select "Other" instead of a user and write username and password manually, it seems that language selection is ignored and gnome will start in English locale. This way, I can login and change the language back to English.

Comment 3 Hedayat Vatankhah 2011-05-13 07:12:53 UTC 
The problem is caused by the Date.toLocaleFormat() function in:
/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/environment.js

If I remove these lines:
//    Date.prototype.toLocaleFormat = function(format) {
//        return Shell.util_format_date(format, this.getTime());
//    };

I can login successfully.
