This bug has yet another affection of i18n breakage,
- GDM read ~/.dmrc 's "Language" value and set LANG/LANGUAGEenvironment
varibale.
- ~/.dmrc has "Language=(langname).utf8" form by language-selector in some
cases.
(such as Lucid clean install without "no touch" boot. after install,
~/.dmrc has ".utf8" values)
- So, LANG/LANGUAGE environment varibales sets "Language=(langname).utf8" by
GDM.
But, LANG/LANGUAGE environment varibales expected
'LANG="(langname).UTF-8"' style, not "(langname).utf8".
This LANG/LANGUAGE settings behavior brakes some i18n codepages related
applications (such as xarchiver, file-roller with archiver that has
"codepage handling").
We must recover(or mitigate) dmrc's "Language" value too.

Unset $LANGUAGES if the user picks a different locale in gdm, so that
language-selector and gdm stop disagreeing
