This issue is present on an artful daily build as well. gdm3 somehow
overrides variables set by ~/.pam_environment. (With lightdm it works as
expected.)
It should be noticed that the issue is present whether g-c-c or
language-selector is used to change the display language.

Title:
Switching language and format broken

Bug description:
In Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 it doesn't matter what display language I select
- the effective language is still the one stated in
/etc/default/locale. ~/.pam_environment is changed as expected, but
the variables set in /etc/default/locale override ~/.pam_environment.
In Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 language switching takes effect, but the reason
for that seems to be that /etc/default/locale is changed as well, so
when a user changes the display language (or format), it changes it
for all users on the system.
The overriding by /etc/default/locale is probably caused by some other
package(s) but g-c-c.
