gdm3 has a terribe bug: does not show russian languaje if are secondary or as alternative i installed debian 8 from scrach in spanish and then adde russian languaje locale as second optionaly.. the iso used was DVD flavor with GDM3 as display manager.. NOTE: all the es_XX, ru_XX and en_XX locales where are generated correctly i mans ALL including ucranian russian UTF8 and non UTF8 locales then the screen of the GDM3 are showed, only englich and spanish are availables.. restarted and again try to login and only spanish and russian are availables.. install the lightdm (due now debians only offerts NOTHING display managers such GMD3 and LIGHTY) then now russian are available in languaje choices only if lightdm are set as default but are not saved for specific users as defaul languje, so all users if choose another languaje optionally to use, does not saved as user default.. like DEbian squeeze does perfectly and debian lenny!
