I was fine in Ubuntu 11.04 not using Unitiy.  After updating to 11.10
yesterday (I decided not to disable Unity) and now I have the problem.
I don't know if its Unity or the update.  I apologize for my lack of
technical skill with Linux, I'm a hopeless noob, otherwise I'd know a
better way to say this, and I'd now how to narrow the cause.

Title:
  [Oneiric] Empty GUI. Can't set local.

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pidgin

  Pidgin buddy list empty, stating, waiting for network connection, although it is established.
  dpkg-reconfigure pidgin:
  perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
  perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
   LANGUAGE = "de:en",
   LC_ALL = (unset),
   LC_MESSAGES = "de_DE.UTF-8",
   LANG = "de"
      are supported and installed on your system.
  perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
  locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
  locale: Kann LC_ALL nicht auf die Standard-Lokale einstellen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

  ## last line says: Can't set LC_All to standard local: file or
  directory not found.

  dpkg-reconfigure locales was already issued.
  $ locale
