I'm seeing weird behavior with gdm. It use USA keyboard instead of
french which is selected in my xorg.conf. If I select french, it still
use USA keyword. The language list is empty, with gdm 2.22 I was able
to select the language to use in gnome environment.

I tested the autologin fonction and it works.

Regards.
