RFE: xdm should provide a way to select the session locale at startup (similar how CDE's "dtlogin" does that job)
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
xdm is rather minimal. I recomend you use kdm, gdm, or lightdm which probably support that functionality. Additionally, you can set it in your ~/.Xsession yourself. If you want xdm to expose this to users, I'd be willing to merge a reviewed patch. Due to the age of the bug, closing as NTBF.
