Call for testing: LightDM

Hi Robert,

In GDM design, the display language can be set on two levels: system
wide, which determines what shown on the login screen, and user
specific.  It's only the user language that can be set from the login
screen.  Since there is no language option in LightDM screen, I assume
no user language that can be set in Oneric.  Is it correct?
