Presumably you mean here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1019314 I agree with your description of the situation, except for this: In 1.2, when the user selects the locale in LightDM greeter, it's set for the session and saved in .dmrc. Then for the following sessions, nothing loads .dmrc and the locale is not correctly set. That's not what I'm seeing. In 1.2, when the user selects the locale in the LightDM greeter, it's saved in ~/.dmrc, but it IS NOT set in the environment for that session, or any other. See my comment on the Debian bug report, and the explanation by the original submitter, which are in agreement on this point: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=679386 In other words, LightDM locale selection is currently completely useless, because it has no effect at all on the session being started, or any subsequent one. One might ask why a Pluggable Authentication Module ought to be responsible for things which clearly have nothing to do with authentication, such as locale selection, especially when they are liable to change at every login. -- Ian Bruce -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
