The issue has been described on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/603097 "If I wish to choose a different language during login, that is not yet in the short list and I select "other languages" I'm displayed a list of available languages in with markup: <span lang="de">Deutsch (Belgien)</span> <span lang="de">Deutsch (Deutschland)</span> <span lang="de">Deutsch (Liechtenstein)</span> <span lang="de">Deutsch (Österreich)</span> <span lang="de">Deutsch (Schweiz)</span> <span lang="en">English (Antigua and Barbuda)</span> ... instead of Deutsch (Belgien) Deutsch (Deutschland) Deutsch (Liechtenstein) Deutsch (Österreich) Deutsch (Schweiz) English (Antigua and Barbuda)" The bug has been added after 2.30.2
Should be good now.
Thanks for the quick fix! I have now been able to test the version the Ubuntu folks supplied in proposed and this issue is indeed resolved. Yet when the session is locked (e.g. via screen saver) the displayed user name for names such as "David <br> & Pezi </br>" is bogus: (it displayed %R form me)
Also note that clicking on the "me menu" (I believe) with a name like "David <br> & Pezi </br>" Will also show the panel with the place holder "Full Name" instead of the full name. I'm not sure to which package that panel belongs but I'll mention it upstream also.
Can you file comment 2 as a separate bug against gnome-screensaver? I believe the "me menu" thing is a downstream addition, so that should go to launchpad
ACK, I've currently filed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614511 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614578 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614580 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614584 in launchpad and will file them upstream as appropriate.

the change broked again the names escaping, reopening, seems update_item () is still buggy
