Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

Architecture: i386
Version: 2.19.5-0ubuntu1

gdmsetup seems to set "Use 24 Hour Clock" to "auto" even though the value was previously set as "yes".
/etc/gdm.conf-custom contains Use24Clock=yes, but the GUI doesn't reflect that.

gdm (2.19.6-0ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

  * New upstream version:
    - Fix gdmflexiserver so when used to start a "Nested Display" (a login
      in a window), it does not pop-up the window showing the user what
      VT's are already logged in. That window should only show up when
      starting Flexi (VT) displays, not Nested displays.
    - Remove XInput code from the dwellmouselistener accessibility module.
      Bug #457998 reported that this code was not working and causing
      devices to fail.
    - Fix bug #461822 which caused entries in the [servers] section of the
      configuration to get ignored if more than one referenced the same
      [server-foo] server. This was working in 2.18 but got broken during
      the cleanup.
    - Fix gdm_fail function so that it cleans up and exits, so now GDM
      will better handle critical failures. This was working in 2.18
      but got broken during the cleanup.
    - Now gdmsetup sets "Use 24 Hour Clock" to "yes" when this is its
      value. (LP: #129528)
    - Fixes for utmpx processing so it now works with utmp and also on
      FreeBSD.
    - Fix IPv6 check when starting VT so that if IPv6 reports that the
      network is not reachable, it falls back to IPv4.
    - Fix string translation issues
    - Translation updates
  * debian/patches/70_mandatory-relibtoolize.patch:
    - updated

I still have this bug in Ubuntu 8.04 (Gnome 2.22.3) as well as Ubuntu 8.10 (Gnome 2.24.1).

Changing use24Clock has no effect to the 12-hour formatted presented on the login screen.
