Bug#784065: mate-session-manager: mate-session doesn't use locale/language settings from lightdm

[Ulrich Hobelmann]

Hi Adrian,

I wasn't sure what caused the problem, so I assumed the session was at 
fault. But indeed: I installed fvwm1 just to check, and it also doesn't 
use the correct locale, so it must be lightdm or something in between.

Thanks for the pointers, I think this bug can be closed then.

Best regards,
Ulrich
