[Konsole-devel] Bug#45345: Konsole doesn't use locale settings when started through KDM

[arkmch at priv4.onet.pl]

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
