Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

This is simply a follow-up to bug 335678

The failsafe X troubleshooting dialogs are now translatable, but
according to Gabor Kelemen:

"I managed to test this a bit, and it works only under X11 :)
So, if I start manually /etc/gdm/failsafeXinit in gnome-terminal, I see the translated strings, but when I damage the xorg.conf file and starts automatically, it's all english. I guess we should set some environment variables..."

So in short, translations are not loaded when the dialogs are shown on
startup upon a real X failure.

I could also confirm this, but I haven't found out why. If I'm not
mistaken, failsafeXinit is executed by upstart. Could that have an
effect on the environment variables?
