Hi Martin-Éric,

Thanks for reporting this issue. I don't think it's a GDM bug, though, but the problem seems to be caused by the incorrect LANGUAGE value "fi_FI.UTF-8". You are not expected to use a complete locale name to denote a language in the LANGUAGE priority list, and neither ".utf8" nor ".UTF-8" shall be included.

The latest released GDM version (2.32.0-0ubuntu7) would not have stopped you from logging in, but that's actually a coincidence. No program will protect you fully from mistakes when you edit config files manually. ;-)
