Comment 2 for bug 868346

A couple of weeks ago it was possible to use the language chooser, even if it was buggy. My original proposed branch fixed the most striking bug at the time. However, as a result of 04_dmrc_set_LANG_only.patch in 1.0.1-0ubuntu4, the language chooser in the LightDM version that was shipped with the 11.10 release can't be used in Ubuntu at all.

The updated MP results in a decent language chooser IMO. A build with the now proposed branch is available in my PPA to facilitate testing: https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/misc

In the proposed branch the language chooser is disabled by default. Considering the proposed improvements, I think it would be better if the chooser was enabled by default, so people would find it more easily. (Please note that we are only talking about lightdm-gtk-greeter, not the default LightDM greeter.)

The accountsservice MP makes the language options appear sorted. Besides suggesting that both the branches are merged and uploaded to Precise, in accordance with the previous discussion mentioned in comment #1 I suggest that they are also uploaded to lightdm-proposed and accountsservice-proposed in Oneiric.
