"It doesn't. PAM loads ~/.pam_environment at login." - Gunnar Hjalmarsson
As I described in the steps above for the sake of demonstration to understand how it can be done with commands: If I modify ~/.pam_environment manually (by using a copy that has been generated), and then logged out and login, the new values are not reloaded.

But how do you update the system to use the changes? Not even reboot worked. This issue can manually be evaluated in order to make sure that the file content is correct: * Set gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats in the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" list to "English (Canada)" * Press on the Close button * cp ~/.pam_environment ~/.pam_environment-canada * Set gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats in the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" list to "English (United States)" * cp ~/.pam_environment-canada ~/.pam_environment * Open gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats, the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" is still set to "English (United States)" * Log out/log in * Open gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats, the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" is still set to "English (United States)" * Reboot * Open gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats, the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" is still set to "English (United States)" How do you make the DE reload the new settings from ~/.pam_environment? # [Feature request]: Implement command line option Implemented command line options, for both user and system-wide settings, would be useful.
