Upstreaming from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=175453

Description of problem:

gdm is supposed to autoselect the correct clock format based on the system locale.

However on this system it doesn't : the clock stays in 12h mode even if 

$ cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n
LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8"

-> so it should ne 24h

This is very very annoying

Thanks, this is a better solution than relying on translators to properly 
translate the "12-hour" string.  Fixed in CVS head.
