When the GDM login screen appears, there is no mention of Language / Session options until AFTER you select or manually enter the user name. Looking at the DEFAULT Language setting, it says: "Unspecified" WTH - WHY? Obviously when I selected Language to be in my case English (USA), then entered my password, my session is now using English (USA) locale. ALSO: This mechanism seems to have changed after F9 since the Language / Session option is shown regardless if a username has been selected or not!?!?
