The problem is that accountsservice's Language property says "en_GB",
which is wrong.

For oneiric, could we please drop all the `locale -a` stuff and asking
accountsservice for the locale? accountsservice already writes the
selected language into ~/.profile, so simply using that ought to be
enough, and has worked fine with gdm as well.

So for applications which DO use accountsservice (language-selector) the
locale is already set by ~/.profile. For derivatives without a langugage
selector which don't use accountsservice, there is no point asking it
either.

Note that for P onwards accountsservice will change ~/.pam_environment
instead (bug 866062), but that's merely cleanup and not directly related
to this bug.
