Bug#614982: gdm3 greeter should display the time in the current locales

[Marcus Comstedt]

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.0.4-4
Followup-For: Bug #614982

Dear Maintainer,

Looking at the source-code, the hardcoded strftime strings are
passed to gettext, to allow localization.  But this is incorrect;
time formatting should be subject to LC_TIME, not LC_MESSAGES.

Anyway, a way to override the actual format string using GSettings or
whatever would also be appreciated.
