gnome - locale causing errors

Does anyone know how to remove locale?  I have just about every language in my .desktop files and gnome complains about them.

Here is a copy of my .xsession-errors

bash: no job control in this shell

I don't think I need locale since I am in the US.  Please correct me if I am wrong.:rolleyes:

Re: gnome - locale causing errors

Do the errors go away when you export LC_ALL="C" in your ~/.bashrc ?

Re: gnome - locale causing errors

make sure locales are correctly generated:
edit /etc/locale.gen
and uncomment en_US and en_US.UTF-8
then run 'locale-gen'

then make sure locale settings are ok:
set LOCALE="en_US.utf8" in /etc/rc.conf and reboot

Re: gnome - locale causing errors

When I set the locales to en__US.utf8, gnome won't shutdown.  It just hangs and I have to reboot to fix it.  I would prefer to just remove locale altogether if that is possible.  I have a gentoo setup that doesn't use locale and it works fine.  Is there a way to just remove it completely?
