Hi,

I have a machine with SL4x "rolling" install. I noticed selecting 
different languages from the gdm greeter cause X11 to crash.

I don't know when this problem first started, probably within the last two 
weeks. Under a fresh "SL4x" install, the gdm languages menu works. After 
I run "yum update" and reboot, it crashes Xorg/X11. I don't get any log 
messages.

I think this is related to the /usr/share/locale/locale.alias file which 
is part of the glibc package.
However, gdm uses a private copy /etc/X11/gdm/locale.alias which is not 
quite the same format. I don't think there have been any errata for the 
glibc package.

Any suggestions how I can debug this ? Can increase the debugging level if 
I run startx from the command line ?

Thanks in advance,
