The greeter doesn't set anything, it gets the menu selection and gives it to lightdm. > At the very > beginning of the /etc/X11/Xsession script LANG=C. Well, this one is a problem, it's should not be the case (and it's not the case for me on any of my box). > FWIW, lightdm seems to be exporting GDM_LANG, see src/seat.c in the > configure_session() function.
