Hi David,
Thanks for your effort to make Ubuntu better by submitting this bug!

As regards your first item, I'm currently trying to address it in other
ways than changing language-selector. Your comment on
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687945 would be appreciated.
It might make a difference, actually.

I'm not sure about your second item. Programmers should be aware that
the output from e.g. the date() command is affected by the locale
environment.

$ env | grep LC_TIME
LC_TIME=sv_SE.UTF-8
$ date
ons 28 nov+ 2012 09.50.+14 CET
$ LC_TIME= date
Wed Nov 28 09:50:22 CET 2012

Still adding a coreutils task to this bug, which carries /bin/date.

As for the first example in you third item, it is possible to set the
paper size separately, since there is a separate LC_PAPER locale
category. The line

export LC_PAPER="hu_HU.UTF-8"

in ~/.profile should do it. Setting only the first day of the week is not 
possible, though, since all the date and time related format aspects are 
controlled by one single locale category, i.e. LC_TIME. Implementing such a 
customization possibility would be quite a significant change. In Ubuntu 13.04 
or 13.10 language-selector will be replaced by the GNOME UI for setting 
language and locales, so such a change won't happen in language-selector. If 
you consider it important enough, I would recommend that you submit a separate 
bug; a GNOME bug would be best:
