Default GNOME user in Fedora 9:
$ env|grep LANG
LANG=en_US.utf8
GDM_LANG=en_US.utf8
Logging in as superuser:
$ su -
# env|grep LANG
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Switching back to normal user:
# su - user
$ env|grep LANG
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
The difference in the spelling of the codeset breaks Sylpheed (#450063)
which only looks for codeset "UTF-8". Now where again is it defined
that both are valid spellings for the codeset?
$ locale -a|grep utf8|wc -l
230
$ locale -a|grep UTF-8|wc -l
2
