Sniff! Sorry to tell you that: it does not work! The point is that the file /var/lib/AccountsService/users/scheuer is rewritten (without the language settings) at each connection. Too bad!
And I don't understand either why the language setting does not fall back to the system language, defined in /etc/default/locale, but to the default one (English). It may be an installation problem: if I remember well, I installed a Xubuntu 12.04, and upgraded to 12.10, 13.04 then 13.10 (but it worked quite well under 13.04 - I did not have this problem, at least). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu.

Moreover, each time I set it back to French, dragging both French (France and Canada) and some English (UK & US) on top of the default English in the language selection list, default English comes back on top at next login. I even tried to modify my .pam_environment (in console mode) and the /etc/environment to set fr_FR as the default, no way: gnome-language- selector seems to force default English as default at each connection! Hopefully, I do understand English, but this is turning me mad.
