I will test it and report back.

My Linux box has an integrated grahics and is not suitable to run
WindLight.  Fortunately it is not of Intel's but is a NVIDIA Geforce
7025, so I can test issues like this if I'm enough patient.  :-)

Just to make sure, Robin, you wrote "... the windlight client ... to
start the 1.19.1 RC".  That means you tested the out-of-the box Linux
viewer 1.19.1 RC0 (as opposed to your own build) and experienced the
"bone without position" problem under de_DE.UTF-8 locale.  Did I
understand correctly?

Yes.  I totally agree on this point.

The problem is that I can find no good way to handle locale in SL
viewer...

Any idea?
