Proposed 2.0.1 string change for GDM

Currently, in GDM language list it has:
English en
American English en_US
British English en_GB
This is *HIGHLY BROKEN* since 'en' is not a valid
locale on Linux, or, AFAIK, most other operating systems.
Plus, being neutral doesn't help; you aren't going to
get a locale where it's colour half the time and color
the other half.
As a stop-gap measure in our packages, I'm doing:
American English en_US
British English en_GB
But this has the problem that it becomes really hard
to find "English".
What I believe is right is:
English (American) en_US
English (British) en_GB
[ Note that all other languages are done like this ]
This will involve a string change, but I think it's still
a fix we should do as soon as we get GNOME-2.0.0 is
out.
Regards,
Owen
