Bug#656745: gnome-control-center: Region panel breaks LANG, breaks terminal charset, shows wrong languages

Sat Apr 14 01:53:17 UTC 2012

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.2.2-2
Followup-For: Bug #656745

Hi,

I can confirm the incorrect behavior of the Region panel.

For me, it will always list:

British English
Chinese (simplified)
English
Spanish

Also, while adding a new language from the installed locales by clicking
the plus sign works, the newly added language vanishes when closing the
regional panel (by clicking "All Settings" for example) and then, re-opening
it. However, when I set the newly added language as default, then log out
and log in again, it will remain in the list. Until I set a new default
language.

Furthermore, it is not possible to remove any languages or formats by
clicking the minus sign.

As for the broken encoding in gnome-terminal: This actually originates
from GDM_LANG not being set. I have observed this on some Wheezy machines
at work while my home machines do not have this particular problem. You
can "hotfix" the problem by manually setting your language in
/var/lib/AccountsServices/users/$user, however this should be fixed in
GNOME itself. See this somewhat related bug report [1].
