lxdm overwrites LC_MESSAGES=C with LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.utf8 The wrong LC_MESSAGES value causes also "setlocale: unsupported locale setting" as follows: # emerge --info lxde-base/lxdm setlocale:

We need to know how it got set in the first place. What does 'systemctl cat lxdm.service' say?
It's also weird if it *immediately* affects your shell. grep -rsin en_GB /etc?

I left it on default. Perhaps something is happening there. I could not investigate it any further yet.
