Description Oldrich Jedlicka 2003-09-30 03:09:02 UTC
KDM doesn't accept LC_CTYPE on a full name obtained by chfn. When displaying 
login screen, there are bad characters in full name (when set) but other 
language specific strings are fine. It seems KDM assumes ISO8859-1 on chfn. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have LC_CTYPE set to cs_CZ.ISO8859-2 in /etc/profile and user "oldium", 
full name "Old?ich Jedli?ka" set by chfn. I have czech language selected for 
KDM. 
2. In rc.conf have DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" 
3. Start KDM by /etc/init.d/xdm start 
Actual Results:  
Full name displayed next to user name has two bad characters.

I see that full name example was not sent correctly to bugzilla too :-) Exchange
"?" in full name by some ISO-8859-2 character.

I forgot the version info: KDE 3.1.4, Gentoo Linux 1.4.

Closing as an upstream bug.  If this persists in kde 3.2, you should file a bug report at bugs.kde.org.
