Similar problem in cs_CZ.UTF-8, strings end at first non-ASCII character.
Looks like gdm-2.6.0.8-process-all-messages stops does
q = p;
while (*q >= ' ')
  q++;
with q being "const gchar *", i.e. sign-extended to < 0 (and < ' ') for
non-ASCII characters

Use unsigned comparison for detecting end of string

This patch against gdm-2.6.0.8-process-all-messages.patch fixes it.
