Cool... but now that I took a closer look on the code, I realized
that gdm puts the strftime format specs through gettext so the
change should perhaps have been made in fi.po instead. Because
"%p" is empty in the fi_FI locale (at least with the outdated
glibc have), it would make sense for fi.po not to use it. This
would save Finnish sysadmins from the trouble of noticing the
problem and reconfiguring gdm.
OTOH, gettext() uses LC_MESSAGES which is not really appropriate
here; if I run gdm with LC_MESSAGES=3Den_US and LC_TIME=3Dcs_CZ
(cs.po uses a 24-hour clock), I think the clock should use the
Czech format and completely ignore the en_US. The current code
gets the en_US (default) strftime format, which uses "%p", and
then strftime formats it using the cs_CZ locale where "%p"
expands to nothing.
Perhaps the dcgettext function would be useful here. It seems,
though, that using it would require compiling the strftime formats
into a separate .mo file in a separate LC_TIME directory, which
may be difficult to do.
