Well, I'd expect that result if the ar_EG locale is in fact not fully
and correctly installed on your machine (and that's not exactly a common
locale, you must admit).
Question #1) Does the shell command
locale -a
output a list of locales that includes ar_EG ?
Question #2) How exactly did you add this locale data (for ar_EG) to
your system? I would have expected
sudo locale-gen ar_EG
but please confirm/correct me on this!
I am unable to confirm the issue with the ar_EG locale at all:
sudo locale-gen ar_EG
LC_ALL=ar_EG locale
works for me.
At this point, my suspicion is that the bug as originally reported may
be related to how early GNOME stuff is started up, and that the
corrupted locale issue is some sort of installation issue or problem
with the process by which the ar_EG locale was installed onto your
system.
