Mike Fabian requested to merge mfabian/libx11:remove-koi8-r-from-xlc-locale into master Jul 22, 2022

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/-/blob/master/src/xlibi18n/lcCT.c#L58 has no escape sequence for KOI8-R. That makes Xutf8TextListToTextProperty() sometimes fail when trying to convert to COMPOUND_TEXT and when the KOI8-R charset is tried.

This is the cause for this bug:

https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2422

Removing the KOI8-R charset entry fixes the problem.

This commit also fixes a few wrong texts in comments.
