Actually I think it would help. The moment that currently fails is
accountsservice's writing to its keyfile and ~/.pam_environment. So now,
when you just have installed a new language, and wants to use a locale
of that language for regional formats, you first need to log out/login
to be able to accomplish the writing, and then log out/login again to
make the new setting part of the actual environment.
