Issue 43: Call setlocale at startup http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=43 Comment #2 by andrea.rossato: yes, there are: the core doesn't produce output to be displayed by the X server, so, calling setlocale is quite useless, unless there are extensions using it (such as tabbed and xprompt). but both tabbed and xprompt do not support wide characters yet, so, calling setlocale remains useless. this is why we have this issue going around: I did some work towards i18n but we didn't decide what kind of approach to use. andrea -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
