Bug#638353: Cannot choose login language

[Jaap Winius]

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.4.1-4
Followup-For: Bug #638353

Perhaps I missed something, but today I've been busy testing a wheezy  
upgrade for the squeeze workstations at my site and noticed that the  
gdm package was no longer available.

It seems that we are expected to use gdm3 instead, with its new wheezy  
artwork. But while it looks nice and I'd be happy to use it, there is  
apparently still no option for users to select a language, which in my  
case is critical.

As a workaround, I've downloaded a copy of the previous gdm package  
(gdm_2.20.11-4_amd64.deb, which still has the old squeeze artwork but  
otherwise works just fine) and will be using that until this issue  
with gdm3 is resolved.

By the way, I'm also using Xfce and for me an additional disadvantage  
of gdm3 is that it (currently) causes about 97 other Gnome  
dependencies to be installed, many of which will probably never be used.

Cheers,

Jaap
