This is an easy fix, and I should have submitted a PR, but you can get
away without doing any patching.
One option involves editing /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/locale.alias, and change
the "english" locale to either en_US.ISO_8859-1 or en_GB.ISO_8859-1
depending on what English you prefer. If you don't feel like editing a
file, just make sure you select either American English or British English
from the Language menu in gdm.
