Re: KDE3.3 & kdmrc/dmrc language settings
Oswald,
Thanks for providing info., looks like I've finally found a knowledgeable
other to discuss.
In testing the ~/.dmrc file does seem to effect KDE because the language on
of messages changed based on what was set in the ~/.dmrc file.
How does the language settings differ from user vs. system in addition to
state vs. stateless?
Within kdmrc:
Session=/usr/share/config/kdm/Xsession
../kdm/Xsession executes /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
../xdm/Xsession sources /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common
../xinitrc-common sources /etc/profile.d/lang.sh & all *.sh in
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d
../lang.sh source /etc/sysconfig/i18n $HOME/.i18n
It seems like ultimately the i18n file is the true source of the language
settings?
I'm lost here, how does this affect the system vs. a the user base? Does
is make sense to set the KDE language based on the keyboard?
Regards,
Ashis

~/.dmrc is kdm's and gdm's state file. it has no direct effect on the
kde session whatsoever.

depends on your X session startup scripts. if they source these files
somehow, you might be lucky - you could try exporting KDE_LANG then. but
you need to investigate the session startup of your system yourself. it
all starts with the Session= specified in kdmrc.
