Neither of them is of fault. The LANGUAGE environment variable setting
should have precedence over LANG. But some applications don't honor the
LANGUAGE variable and only take LANG into account. Therefor those
applications are buggy.

Therefor, if you set your environment variable to English (UK) and your
Desktop language to Spanish with fallback to English, all applications
are expected to use Spanish and only fall back to English when a Spanish
translation is not available.

gdm only sets the LANG variable (environment), while language-selector
lets you set LANG and LANGUAGE. That's a different issue and a bug is
open for that.

** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
