Bug#214898: Bug#133578: gdm: default locale setting



tag - 133578 patch
thanks

Just to make it clear to everyone involved -- #133578 is waiting for #214898
to be fixed in glibc.  I'm not going to parse/use a tool to read the PAM
configuration file /etc/environment.  That config file is for setting up
the _login_ environment, not the system boot environment.  I think
this should be a generic environment file, so that things such as the
default init script/boot time PATH can be set in one place as well.
(PATH, for example, is set in 50 different /etc/init.d scripts of 85
on my system.)

Once this is done, init scripts can then use it and start making full use
of gettext for strings they display, localizing the entire boot process.
