[Description Christopher Korn 2005-03-30 11:53:46 UTC]

If fluxbox is startet with LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" via GDM fluxbox totally hangs and uses 99% of the CPU.

If i start fluxbox via startx it works. 
I use this ~/.xinitrc:

LC_ALL="C" startfluxbox


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
(0. configure your gentoo to use unicode)
1. change LC_ALL to "en_US.utf8"
2. start fluxbox via GDM

Actual Results:  
Fluxbox hangs and uses 99% of the CPU. 

Expected Results:  
Working Fluxbox

[Comment 4 Ciaran McCreesh 2005-03-30 12:43:43 UTC]

Ya, so please report such issues upstream, since there's nothing more that can be done by us.
