Issue 43: Call setlocale at startup http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=43 New issue report by m...@jansb.org: I'd like to see xmonad call setlocale as a first step towards support for internationalisation. While xmonad proper doesn't use many features that benefit from internationalisation, extensions do -- most visibly when printing window titles. While it is not strictly necessary that xmonad calls setlocale, any extension that use locale-aware functions can call it just before it calls such functions, it seems unnecessary to have a bunch of extensions each calling setlocale over and over again. I have attached a patch that modifies xmonad to call setlocale first thing in main. A second possibility is to not call setlocale but to add a startupHook which is called just before entering the main loop. The user can then use this hook to call arbitrary start-up functions such as setlocale. I don't know how useful this generality is, the interface is very "stateful".
