my dreams about gtk/freebsd...

Hi Lords,

I'm angry about this setlocale() stuff. The fact is :
when you have LC_MESSAGES on your system, a
setlocale(LC_MESSAGES,NULL) can return NULL. This will
end with a segfault (in gtk_rc_init(), for
example, you'll :
    
    locale = setlocale(LC_MESSAGES,NULL);
    if (strcmp(locale,"C") && strcmp(locale,"POSIX"))
        {
            /* do stuff */
        }

Since locale is NULL, you'll understand that this may lead
to problems). So it *is* necessary to test the setlocale() 
result.

1) I want to know if others have experienced this.
2) And (as allways), if it is a bug, I would know
what is the correct way to handle this. Since the
default is "C", it should be correct to init locale
with this value when setlocale() return NULL...

Thanks a lot !
