Title:
  language selection list in GDM contains duplicate and unwanted entries

Status in gdm package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  I updated Maverick to Natty and added to the German locale a Russian
  one. Russian is the system wide locale, one user uses German locale by
  choosing German in the GDM language selection list to get German menus
  and messages. The LANG/LANGUAGE/LC_* variables are all set
  appropriately.

  In GDM in the language list the users now unfortunately get the following list of languages presented:
  1) Unspecified [ANSI_X3.4-1968]
  2) German (Germany)
  3) German
  4) Russian (Russian Federation)
  5) Russian

  The 'other' entry only lists Russian and German.

  The current 'locale -a' is
  C
  de_DE.utf8
  POSIX
  ru_RU.utf8

  The LANGUAGE environment variable for the German user is set to
  'de_DE:de:ru'.

  I've tried several times to clean up the locale and start from scratch
  only with a Russian one but I can't get rid of the additional entries
  in the GDM language selection list. I can't either find a list of GDM
  maintained languages I could delete the unneeded languages from.

  To sum up what I've done so far is:
  - set up locale from scratch - didn't help
  - checked the file system for cached GDM files - no one found
  - checked with 'gconftool -g /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/recent-languages' the language settings - the key is empty
  - run gdm in debug mode - didn't find anything

  Any help would be appreciated.
