* debian/patches/ubuntu_dont_set_language_env.patch:
- Don't run the set_up_session_language() function, since it
overrides variable values set by ~/.pam_environment
See conversation on the upstream bug report. It turns out calling
set_up_session_language() earlier (e.g. in on_setup_complete_cb) doesn't
fix the problem: gdm_session_start_session() calls send_environment(),
which overrides the environment set up by pam with the values from
/etc/default/locale

Yep, suspicious indeed. I built gdm3 with that function disabled:

And yes, that's it. You nailed it Olivier; thanks a lot!
Why didn't I see it when looking at that file many months ago... :(
Anyway, I have submitted a MP.

Switching language and format broken
To manage notifications
I added a FOOBAR variable to both ~/.pam_environment and
/etc/default/locale, with different values in each file, and after
logging in the value is the one from ~/.pam_environment. So I don't
think gdm sources /etc/default/locale after ~/.pam_environment. However
variables LANG, LANGUAGE and LC_*
/usr/share/language-tools/save-to-pam-env is the script that writes to
~/.pam_environment with an incorrect syntax.

/etc/pam.d/gdm-launch-environment is run as user gdm, so it's not what
we're interested in.
/etc/pam.d/gdm-password appears to be what sets the environment upon
user login.
When adding some logging to that module, I'm seeing the following:
pam_env(gdm-password:session): username=ubuntu
Wonder if there is a problem with this code:

In /etc/pam.d/gdm-launch-environment:
session requiredpam_env.so readenv=1 user_readenv=1

In pam_env.c (handle_env function), the env should be set from
/etc/default/locale and then overridden by ~/.pam_environment. If I add
the 'debug' parameter to the
I didn't click "Apply System-Wide". When I changed the language in g-c-c
/etc/default/locale was written to (LANG and LANGUAGE were updated). I
agree that this is unexpected behaviour though, I wouldn't expect the
current user's setting to be applied system-wide unless explicitly
requested.
--
To clarify: I used the g-c-c interface to switch language. If I had
clicked "Manage Installed Languages" to open Language Support and then
clicked "Apply System-Wide", /etc/default/locale would have been updated
too. But that 'does not count'. Language Support is available to work
around the fact
The /etc/default/locale file was not altered when I just tested on an
updated artful.

Sebastien and I observed. I'll go to a (relatively) fresh artful install
and recheck then.
If that's the case, the issue may not be so urgent. But it's poor
design, since it means that if a user changes language, s/he changes it
Testing in an up-to-date artful VM, when switching languages in g-c-c,
both LANG and LANGUAGE are updated in both ~/.pam_environment and
/etc/default/locale.
That VM is an artful install that has been updated daily, not an upgrade
from a previous release.

If nobody figures out what makes the variables in ~/.pam_environment be
overridden by the variables in /etc/default/locale, I'm thinking of an
ugly hack which may work.
~/.pam_environment is maintained by /usr/share/language-tools/save-to-
pam-env. In case of a GNOME desktop we could make that

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.
