[Bug 1301280] Re: gnome-language-selector: dragging a language does not work

 

If I want to work as root at somebody's desktop for helping them I want
to do it in English - not in the language of the user logged in like
French or Spanish. Therefore I want to change the language in my root
environment (especially the gnome-terminal) using "sudo gnome-language-
selector" (I can't use a French gnome-terminal ;-)

So why am I not supposed to start gnome-language-selector as root?

  gnome-language-selector: dragging a language does not work

Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In 14.04, daily update, when I try to drag a language I get this
  message (but only on the first try):

  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/LanguageSelector/LanguageSelector.py:81: UserWarning: No language saved for user 'root'.
    warnings.warn("No language saved for user '%s'." % os.getenv('USER'))

  and the drag is unsuccessful. It works fine in 12.04.
