Just a word of caution - setting locale in the display manager
is a bad design, please let user-related processes do the job,
not gdm (or alike) which may easily fail doing this task.

A user can run a software setup which gdm is totally unaware of,
like we (Aetey) do with our globally available software (Dapty).
A host-local gdm is simply unaware of the set of locales available with
Dapty so it can not help the with the session environment setup.

With other words, users' choice of locales is easily different/larger
than the knowledge of gdm / of the local host administrator.

Furthermore, a display manager can be simply incapable or not configured
to let the user choose a locale.
