[Bug 39776] Ingnores locale LC_CTYPE

[Tero Karvinen]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Gnome-terminal ingnores locale LC_CTYPE.

To reproduce
1) Set LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8", described in detail on http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/english_in_finland_on_ubuntu.html

2) Applications: Accessories: Terminal (gnome-terminal)

3) $ echo "This is one word: päivää"
Double click between "iv". 

What should happen: "päivää" should be selected, because it is one word.
"Päivää" is hello in Finnish.

What actually happens: "iv" is selected.

What causes it: gnome-terminal ignores LC_CTYPE, and has it's own list
of characters in gconf. 'gconf-editor', /apps/gnome-
terminal/profiles/Default/word_chars is set by default to
"-A-Za-z0-9,./?%&#:_". Instead of a list, gnome programs should respect
locales.
