Langauges missing from GDM

Hi all, I have a perplexing issue with missing languages in the GDM
login screen.
A user requested that a language (Korean) be added to their RHEL4 U5
machine post install. I realize this isn't exactly supported, but it's
doable, although perhaps I am missing some important steps.... I can
now choose Korean from system-config-languages without problem however
and it works correctly as far as I can tell.
However, when I connect to gdm either remotely or from the console and examine
the Languages menu, I do not see Korean in the list of languages
availlable although there are many others (also notably missing are
Japanese, Chinese, etc).
Korean is present in the /etc/X11/gdm/locale.alias file -- and I have
even removed all langauges from that list but Korean but it will still
not show up.
I tried adding a line as followed to my i18n file:
SUPPORTED="ko_KR.UTF-8,en_US.UTF-8"
But still it will not show up....
I reinstalled glibc-common as follows:
rpm -ivh --force glibc-common-2.3.4-2.36.i386.rpm --define '_install_langs all'
Also to no avail...
Why do so many of the other languages show up, but not the Asian ones?
Any suggestions on what I need to do to resolve this?
TIA,
Ray
