[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#765077: Bug is still present and very annoying for my users

[bee GmbH | Pasqual Brettner]

Hello everybody,

this bug seems realy annoying.

lightdm-gtk-greeter in version 1.8.5-2 is used together with lightdm 1.10.3-3 (Debian jessie latest updates)

The Language-Selection or honoring of user-settings in .dmrc is not really
working consistently in most of the known Login-Managers (tested on Jessie: lightdm, kdm, gdm3).

Only thing that worked for me was to set export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 in .bashrc

Will this get fixed anytime soon?

Please try to fix this or tell me if you need help.
Thanks in advance.

P.S:
I don't want to sound rude, and this is not pointed to the maintainer here directly,
but: Why can such Bugs life that long? And even reappear over 2-3 versions?
No wonder that the acceptance for Linux on desktops is so low if such small but annoying things reappear every 2nd dist-upgrade. How
should a casual user get around this whole stuff? I don't get it.
