    I'm trying to get gdm to speak Swedish, instead of English.

    * I have dpkg-reconfigured locales to sv_FI@euro

    That didn't change the way gdm worked, even though the chosen system
    language is Swedish. *But* if I restart gdm as root, then it runs in
    Swedish. So obviously it recognizes the language, and `knows how to
    speak it' -- but how do I make it work without restarting gdm as root?

    (Root uses the system-language; hasn't got any LANG or LC_* modifiers
    anywhere, as some other users have...)
