Hi folks, Does anyone know of a greeter with a language selector for wheezy?
My site uses Debian squeeze workstations with Xfce that need support for both English and Dutch. Currently we use gdm, a display manager with few dependencies that has a greeter with a working language selector. Soon, however, we'll be upgrading to Debian wheezy, in which gdm has been dropped in favor of gdm3, which has very many Gnome dependencies. Worse, it has no language selector. Nor does kdm (which also has many dependencies), xdm, wdm, or slim. Lightdm does have a language selector when lightdm-gtk-greeter is also installed, but this selector doesn't work due to a bug that's present in both the Debian wheezy (and sid) and experimental versions of these packages. Apparently lxdm has a language selector, but there's still no Debian package for it. With no language selector in the greeter, Gnome desktop users are now apparently expected to set this by using the gnome-control-center or the the DBus interface. Xfce, however, does not seem to have this option, which is why I need a greeter with a language selector. A method that I do not want to use is to set wheezy's default locale to English or Dutch. I want to leave that choice up to the users who share these workstations, and as sysadmin I prefer to use 'none' for the default locale anyway. My current strategy for wheezy is simply to keep the old version of gdm working as long as I can, but I wish I had a better solution.
