Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: indicator-applet
indicator-applet does not propagate the locale environment variables to
the indicator services. I have set en_US as user specific preference for
messages, yet text in the indicator services appear in Swedish, which is
the system default. The indicator applet itself (about box etc)
correctly uses English, though.
