Bug description:
Something has happened lately with accountsservice, which makes it act
as root instead of the current user when creating ~/.pam_environment.
The very old bug #904395 comes to mind, and this smells a security
issue.
The function which is supposed to prevent this behavior is here:
https://salsa.debian.org/freedesktop-
team/accountsservice/-/blob/ubuntu/debian/patches/0010-set-
language.patch#L75
Haven't investigated further yet.
