I haven't test in GDM 2.20.x yet, but as for the GDM 2.21.x (in MC CVS).  
The login.conf and Language menu don't work, so you have to add GDM_LANG  
in either /etc/profile or ~/.profile. It works great. I have in my  
~/.profile:

GDM_LANG=en_US.UTF-8;	export GDM_LANG

% locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
