[Konsole-devel] Bug#45345: marked as done (Konsole doesn't use locale settings when started through KDM) by Stephan Binner <binner at kde.org>

[Stephan Kulow]

Your message with subj: Konsole doesn't use locale settings when started through KDM

Sounds like your console (read non-KDE, not using KDE control center settings) 
applications doesn't see correct LC_ALL and LANG. No fixable bug in Konsole.

has caused the attached bug report to be marked as done.

This means that you claim that the problem has been dealt with.
If this is not the case it is now your responsibility to reopen the
bug report if necessary, and/or fix the problem forthwith.

(NB: If you are a system administrator and have no idea what I'm
talking about this indicates a serious mail system misconfiguration
somewhere.  Please contact me immediately.)

Package:           konsole
Version:           1.1.2 (using KDE 3.0.2 )
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Gentoo
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.18
OS/Compiler notes: 

The language and country in Control Center are both set to Polish. All the applications show characters from the iso8859-2 set correctly except konsole, where instead of diacritics I see question marks. 

This problem only occurs when KDE is started through KDM and not startx. 

I noticed that adding "source /etc/profile" to  /etc/X11/Sessions/kde-3.0.2  solves the problem. I think this is due to the fact that in /etc/profile I set LC_ALL and LANG viariables.

I suggests that konsole should use the country settings from Control Center (preferably), or the locale settings in /etc/profile
