Description Mirko Guenther 2013-05-05 16:47:19 UTC

When starting a gnome session with lightdm the desktop language is set to system default and user settings are ignored.

When using GDM as login prompt, it's possible to change the desktop language settings persitent.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login via GDM
2. change language different to system default
3. logout and login to check if settings are working
4. logout, switch to lightdm
5. login
Actual Results:  
Desktop language is reset to system default.

Expected Results:  
Desktop should use language, set on last session.

I don't think we do anything special to lightdm. This probably needs to be reported upstream

It seems other distries have the same problem. I've found two fixes for that issue.

1st: is a fix too set the language in the user session -> it works only when I use the Xsession file from GDM package

2nd: fix the language ofthe greeter itself.

This seems to have been fixed upstream long time ago. Closing
