Patch for gdm-language-chooser-widget.c (1.09 KB, patch)

Description Takao Fujiwara 2010-01-22 05:01:13 UTC 
GDM shows a locale in case:
 - setlocale is succeeded
 - gdm.mo is installed
 - fonts are installed

I think it's useful for sysadmin or locale maintainers to show a warning when add_available_languages() is failed so that they notice fonts are not installed.

I'm not sure a warning is right.  it's perfectly legitimate to not want to support every language for a site deployment.  Should probably be a debugging message though.
