Indeed, gdm does not currently have a concept of a "language list", just a locale picker. > • language-selector can write LANGUAGE (but also LANG) > • That effectively means that the language one selects in GDM is useless, since LANGUAGE has precedence It's only useless if you fine-tuned your $LANG/$LANGUAGE in the language-selector. It does work fine if you didn't (and most people won't, I figure). So, I agree it's confusing, but I don't see how to easily rectify it. The best that comes to my mind is to disable the locale picker for users which have a $LANGUAGE set?
