Martin,

During our talk in #ubuntu-desktop last friday, you mentioned the
possibility to drop ~/.profile for storing the user language environment
and use /var/cache/gdm/$USER/dmrc instead. I think that may be a
practicable approach with the advantage that there is a safe method in
place for writing to disk. I added the keys "Langlist" and "LCMess" to
dmrc and rewrote language-environment.sh (attached).

There are a couple of matters I'd like to talk over before I proceed.
You mentioned that the "Language" value in dmrc must represent a valid
locale because of other *dms, but I fear a problem there and don't quite
follow you. Aren't we working with the Ubuntu model for locale
environment irrespective of the desktop GUI?

Kubuntu is the other pending issue, which I wrote about in comment #64
above.

Rgds,
Gunnar

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