Package: gdm
Version: 2.6.0.8-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Dear Debian developers,
I have gdm, and have several locales generated in my computer. Among them
"en_IE",
which corresponds to English (Ireland).
I the gdm login screen, I can select the "languages" menu, and a list of
available locales
with description appears. Among them:
English (Denmark) en_IE
Expected behaviour: This language option should read:
English (Ireland) (en_IE)
I have found a wrong line in the source file gui/gdmlanguages.c. After aplying
the following
one-line patch, gdm shows the expected behaviour.

en_DK is an existing locale, as shown e.g. by:
$ dlocate /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_DK
locales: /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_DK
Best regards, and thank you for your work,
Jaume
