Comment 12 for bug 83142

I have have installed Ubuntu-8.10 Intrepid (upgrade from 8.04.1) and I noticed several bugs:

* the compose key did not work at all
* vim-7.1.314 from Ubuntu-8.10 crashed when using X clipboard with visual selection.
  This bug is discussed in more details in vim mailing list, see:
   http://groups.google.com/group/vim_dev/browse_thread/thread/55612319d5c737ca
* gnome-terminal worked bug xterm defaulted to "C" locale.

These 3 bugs only happened because eo_XX.UTF-8 locale in Ubuntu is broken,
and it is easy to fix.

I saw that the Esperanto settings in files /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.dir
and /usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir are commented out. Uncommenting
them resolved all 3 problems.

Please uncomment those lines. I've been using it with the fix
without problems.

Ubuntu works fine with the eo_XX.UTF-8 uncommented out and it
fixes the 3 issues I described.

I think the only reasons those line were commented out is because
someone did check for non existing country codes and stumbled
upon XX. But this should be OK as pointed out by previous comments.
This incorrect change was probably not well reviewed, since the comment
even included a typo (*Esperato* instead of Esperanto)

I also saw the file /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.dir on OpenSUSE-11.0 and the
Esperanto locale settings were not commented there.

Attached is the patch /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.dir file. Please notice:
* esperanto setting uncommented
* some colon characters removed
