That's true, and it's intended behavior. The idea is to distinguish between language and regional formats, and the latter variables are considered to be part of the language option. > "Setting LC_ALL that way persistently on a desktop is a misconfiguration"? > > Is it? Yes it is. If you want the same locale for every locale category, just make sure that you select the same locale for both language and regional formats. LC_ALL is typically used by coders. It's not suitable as an environment variable on a desktop, since it makes any UI for this purpose useless. If you want to make an exception for a particular locale category, e.g. LC_CTYPE or LC_TIME, then set that category separately. But leave LC_ALL unset. > How does gnome-language-selector reload ~/.pam_environment ? It doesn't.
