Package: lightdm Version: 1.10.3-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I'm trying to set custom language of lightdm greeter while leaving system-wide defaults alone. Lightdm manual suggests that it takes language from /etc/environment, so it should be possible to override them in /var/lib/lightdm/.pam_environment. Same mechanism was suggested on Archlinux forums: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=165381 But that does not happen. Greeter process is started with system-wide language variables. Perhaps some debian-related mechanism is involved.
