I didn't check the current LiveCD, but for selecting language and
keyboard layout in GDM you must first choose a user, at least since
F13 on an already installed Fedora. In a LiveCD, as the live cd user
has no password, it would mean to start right after selecting the user
without the chance to choose a language.

Anyone else confirm this?
