LC_CTYPE=de_DE@UTF-8 xlock

Probably xlock should just print a warning
"Locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C"
and set the locale to C, just like xterm does.
Comment 1 Uwe Gansert 2005-06-13 14:26:33 UTC 
why is the component "autoyast"?
Comment 2 Mike Fabian 2005-06-13 14:52:13 UTC 
Component → X11Apps.
Comment 3 Uwe Gansert 2005-06-13 14:59:25 UTC 
maybe Stefan knows who is responsible. I have nothing to do with X11.
Comment 4 Stanislav Brabec 2005-08-17 16:42:32 UTC 
Crash in xlock.c:3299

XmbTextExtents(fontset, "Aj", 1, NULL, &mbRect);

XmbTextExtents(NULL, "Aj", 1, NULL, &mbRect);

mbRect contains only zeros.
Comment 5 Andreas Jaeger 2007-07-27 07:39:55 UTC 
We will not fix this bug anymore for this release.  If the bug is still in openSUSE 10.3, please report a new bug.
Comment 6 Mike Fabian 2008-04-01 10:16:56 UTC 
The bug still exists in STABLE/Factory.
Comment 7 Petr Gajdos 2008-06-05 13:26:51 UTC 
Fixed.
