Locale after upgrading to Gnome 2.20.x

After I upgraded to Gnome 2.20 then Gnome suddenly has changed my language to Norwegian??

I have this in my 02locale file:

Code: Select all

LANG="en_US.ISO-8859-1"
LC_CTYPE="nb_NO.ISO-8859-1"
LC_PAPER="nb_NO.ISO-8859-1"
LC_NUMERIC="nb_NO.ISO-8859-1"

And if I open a gnome-terminal and su - to root, then I get the chosen locales in 02locale but if I run locale as my logged on user, I see that Gnome has changed my locale settings! How do I make Gnome honour the settings in 02locale?

Regards,

BTJ

after modifying your /etc/env.d/02locale did you "env-update" and "source /etc/profile" (and then restart x)?

No, because I haven't modified it.... It has been like this in many years and just working....

I'm having the same problem. No solution??

Could /etc/make.conf setting LINGUAS="fi en" have something to do with this mess?

I "solved" it by explicitly choosing the locale I want at the GDM boot screen.
