[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#736474: lightdm: Sets incorrect LANG=en_GB.utf8 locale name

[Paul "LeoNerd" Evans]

Package: lightdm
Version: 1.8.5-3
Severity: normal

After switching from gdm to lightdm I have noticed that on login to X,
my locale is set to

  LANG=en_GB.utf8

This is incorrect; the suffix should be .UTF-8. Programs may rely on
that string to detect whether the locale is UTF-8 and change behaviour
accordingly. This locale is correctly set by console logins.
