@Gunnar: Aha! The "mixed bag" locale is in there:

bombay:~$ cat .pam_environment 
LANGUAGE=en_GB
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_TIME=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_NAME=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=es_ES.UTF-8
PAPERSIZE=a4

The timestamp on the file is June 8 2016, but I did not see the
behaviour I describe before 17.10. And isn't the content of
.pam_environment supposed to change to reflect the settings selected in
the GUI tools?

When I have posted this I shall edit the file and re-login, and then
post the result.
