Hi everyone,

excuse me if the solution was already given but I can't find how
to work around GDM non-language selection.

F15 common bugs list[0] says to look at System settings > Region &
language, but I can't find this menu on XFCE.

The trick from the GDM documentation [1] doesn't seem to work.
Setting ~/.dmrc to chmod 644 and <<< EOS
[Desktop]
Session=xfce
Language:xx_XX.UTF-8
EOS
doesn't have any effect :(

How do you work around this issue ?


regards,
/John
