Hay. I have that same problem! I posted the question
in -current since I figured it had more to do with the
OS than X -- and I still do. For example, the tar tool
can't utilize the LANG setting either.
How do you export those variables successfully in
~/.xsession? It still doesn't help with me.
check this out:
$ locale
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=
$ echo $LC_ALL
en_US
$ perl
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_US"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale
("C").
to be fair, I added the lang setting to
/etc/login.conf only after doing my last
build/installworld.
