           Summary: libX11 locale defs severely adrift from glibc
           Product: xorg
           Version: CVS_head
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Lib/Xlib
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: daniel at freedesktop.org


libX11's locale definitions are quite severely adrift from modern versions of
glibc, in terms of what they support.  Debian (and, subsequently, Ubuntu) has
had a patch to update this for quite a long time, with no ill effects; I believe
the impact on other platforms (e.g. Solaris) should be nil, as if the locale is
not supported by the underlying libc, XSupportsLocale() will still fail in the
same way.
