Package: gdm
Version: 2.2.5.5-2

I setup my Debian system (and X) for using Bulgarian language, which 
uses windows-1251 encoding (*-microsoft-cp1251 in X), including 
generating bg_BG data with package `locales'.  With `gdmconfig' I 
configured various stuff, like default language and greeting font.

Here the fun begins.  When I restart the computer the font of the menus 
is with iso8859-1 encoding for the microsoft-cp1251 encoded characters. 
  When gdm is restarted from the console (where LANG=bg_BG is set), 
everything is OK.

The conclusion: when gdm process is started, LANG environment variable 
_must_ be set to the value taken from `/etc/environment' where `locales' 
package put it for global use.

I don't know how is The Right Way to do this, but it must be done so 
that `gdm' to work correctly in different languages.  Now I use a 
patched `/etc/init.d/gdm' with line `export LANG=bg_BG' added.
