A complete rewrite of xdm(1).
It's the bit that displays the graphical login screen on a [GNOME] machine.

-GDM (at least for version 2.4.0 and later) in Debian completely ignores your default language/encoding settings, even though the "locales" package sets up the LANG variable in the /etc/environment file. The package maintainer argues that this file is only supposed to be used by [PAM], so in the meantime nothing is done. Great.
-
-The best workaround so far is to add
- auth required pam_env.so
-into /etc/pam.d/gdm so that the LANG variable gets set to your system's default.
-
-Another method is to add the line
- LANG=`grep ^LANG= /etc/environment | sed -e "s/^LANG=//"`
-to /etc/init.d/gdm, although this is less tidy [IMHO].

-See
-http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=147091 and the thread containing http://lists.debian.org/debian-gtk-gnome/2003/debian-gtk-gnome-200309/msg00084.html.

-(This was fixed in gdm 2.4.1.7, see /etc/default/gdm.)
