Bug#757005: User language selection doesn't work completely

[Alexander Kurtz]

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.12.2-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

I've got an up-to-date jessie system configured like this:

	alexander at shepard:~$ cat /etc/default/locale
	LANG=en_US.UTF8
	alexander at shepard:~$ cat /var/lib/AccountsService/users/alexander
	[User]
	Language=de_DE.utf8
	XSession=default
	SystemAccount=false
	alexander at shepard:~$ gsettings get org.gnome.system.locale region
	'fr_FR.utf8'
	alexander at shepard:~$ 

I'd therefore expect to get a German interface with French formats when
logging into my user account. However, this is what actually happens:

	alexander at shepard:~$ locale
	LANG=en_US.UTF8
	LANGUAGE=
	LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF8"
	LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR.utf8
	LC_TIME=fr_FR.utf8
	LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF8"
	LC_MONETARY=fr_FR.utf8
	LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF8"
	LC_PAPER=fr_FR.utf8
	LC_NAME="en_US.UTF8"
	LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF8"
	LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF8"
	LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_FR.utf8
	LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF8"
	LC_ALL=
	alexander at shepard:~$ 

This kind of setup used to work in wheezy; I'm not entirely sure when it
stopped working. I'm also not entirely sure if GDM is actually still
responsible for setting the locale when a user logs in. If this isn't
the case anymore, please reassign the bug accordingly.

Best regards

Alexander Kurtz
