Bug#448095: gdm doesn't save locale settings

[Yves-Alexis Perez]

Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.0-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

this is a fresh amd64 install. I've installed with a lenny netinst, then
full-upgraded to sid, then only installed gdm. As an user, when I choose
a locale, then login, it asks me if I want to set this locale as the
default one, but this choice isn't remembered for the next time.

I don't know if it's reproducible (I have another box, amd64/sid too,
wich doesn't have the problem, but it's not freshly installed, and I
don't know where are the config files (user part) for gdm.

Regards,
