Summary: feature to allow customizing which langs appear by
                    default in lang menu
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: low
         Component: gdm
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]

   Estimated Hours: 0.0
    Classification: Fedora
    Target Release: ---

Description of problem:
Based on the thread "GDM Language list..." on fedora-devel-list
and fedora-i18n-list, I had a discussion with Ankit and
I came up with this idea which could perhaps form part of
YumLangpackPlugin Feature for F12.

If gdm could support configuration of the locales shown by
default in it's language list, then the <lang>-langpack-support
meta packages of the above feature could add languages to
that gdm system config which would allow giving languages
with extra support installed high visibility in the menu.

Does that make some sense?

I guess next step would be to file an rfe upstream...

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install language support for my favourite languages
2. login via gdm

Actual results:
2. need to go to Other... to find them

Expected results:
2. appear in gdm lang menu

I think Fujiwara-san is working on a patch for this.

I'll work on the better GUI tool later. I need to fix other issues prior to
this issue.

Currently CLI is already implemented.
Once you modify gdm line in /etc/passwd with "s|/sbin/nologin|/bin/bash|", you
could update the gdm gconf value /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/recent-languages by
manual or gconf-editor.

I talked to Fujiwara-san and realised we were talking about
somewhat different things.

Anyway as he pointed out to me this "rfe" can be done
trivially with system gdm gconf settings.

eg sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --get  /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/recent-languages

But I think requiring login for gdm that might be a serious problem?

Ignore this - misunderstanding on my part.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Closing out at least until gdm support language selection again.
