So, some more data points: - the empty LANG and "en_US:en" LANGUAGE come from /etc/default/locale. Not sure how this got there, but adjusting things there does change what ends up set in gnome-session-worker, so I can set, for instance LANG=en_US.UTF-8. - however, setting a *different* locale with the gnome control center than the one in /etc/default/locale doesn't do anything. That is, I set the language to japanese in the region&language control center box, and I'm still all in an english UI, with en_US.UTF-8 locale. (and yes, I do have the ja_JP.UTF-8 locale generated) So I guess it all boils down to the Region&language configuration being completely ignored.
