I asked Ryan about this on IRC a few days before the security incident, and he told me it was high on his TODO.

(previous I used Gnome > from Stormix and from HelixCode) Ryan already commented on this list how the language thing should be fixed, but apparently nobody has worked on it. What the maintainer doesn't want to do is to source some random pam config file. What Debian needs to do is to set a global language very early in the boot process. This is necessary if we ever want translatable init scripts, anyway. When such setup is in Debian, gdm will be able to know easily what language to use. > Same with poweroff (restart) bug - some people already wroten patch for > this, why this patch isn't in Debian ? What bug? > Maybe debian-gnome team should help to maintain such important package like > gdm ? I don't think Ryan will reject help with bug triaging or help to forward port the stuff. Not this week, I guess. There are other[1] important things going on right now...
