The locales that gdm knows about are formatted incorrectly for FreeBSD. Most of them need a '-' substituted with a '_'. Also, the default locale is unknown to FreeBSD. Fix: This patch corrects the locale names, and makes US English the default English. Patch to /usr/ports/x11/gdm/files/patch-ab: Patch to config/locale.aliase in the GDM dist: How-To-Repeat: Login after installing /usr/ports/x11/gdm. You will see: LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = "en_US" When trying to run certain applications.
