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.
