Bug#584231: gdm3: does not respect language choice if system's locale is not "None"

[Alexander Kurtz]

Hi,

I can confirm this bug exactly as described:

Test #1:
========

alexander at server:~$ cat /etc/default/locale 
#  File generated by update-locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
alexander at server:~$ cat ~/.dmrc

[Desktop]
Language=en_US.utf8
alexander at server:~$ echo $LANG
de_DE.UTF-8

I then changed the default system locale via `sudo dpkg-reconfigure
locales' and logged out/logged in:

Test #2:
========

alexander at server:~$ cat /etc/default/locale 
#  File generated by update-locale
#LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
alexander at server:~$ cat ~/.dmrc

[Desktop]
Language=en_US.utf8
alexander at server:~$ echo $LANG
en_US.utf8

As a side note: Keyboard layout switching works fine even though I have
a system default layout configured.

Best Regards

Alexander Kurtz
