Hi Steve, I'm not sure I understand what the problem would be in practice. Anyway, if you let us know which specific changes you would like to see, I'll be happy to talk more about it. (I have spent quite some time with language and locale settings in language-selector and accountsservice in order to _prevent_ confusing behavior.)

Afterwards I noticed that both /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale had been populated with the set of environment variables. This is wrong, language-selector should *only* be updating /etc/default/locale: all pam_env-enabled services are supposed to read from both /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale, precisely so that /etc/default/locale can be used as the *one* file on the system where default locale settings are specified. The output of language-selector is also very different from the output of ubiquity: whereas ubiquity only sets the LANG variable, language- selector outputs the full range of LC_* variables as well as LANG and LANGUAGE. I don't know of any specific bugs resulting from this, but I have seen bug reports in the past related to LC_* variables and I'm concerned that this inconsistency will cause confusing behavior in some cases.
