Bug#638353: Hardcoding LANG in Xsession script "works" as a, temporary work-around

[Stéphane Glondu]

Hello,

While trying to set the language in my GNOME session, I found this bug.

It is.

Is there any other way to do it for a specific user? (not system-wide) I
tried ~/.profile, ~/.pam_environment, I learnt here about ~/.dmrc which
is said not to work. In my /etc/default/locale, LANG is set to
en_US.UTF-8, and I cannot change it.


Cheers,
