Fair or not, this bug report is closed, and further comments won't get
the attention you want.
Please keep the discussion on bug #1069494. But what you want to achieve
would probably affect several packages, and I think you should use a
mailing list to check out what others think about the overall
Well, the thing is: This change broke session management and therefore I
think it's fair to comment on this right here.
Serious question: Are you actually using lightdm yourself? I mean, it's
obviously completely broken. It doesn't even restore the settings on the
same machine these days anymore.
@Adrian: As Sebastien said more than two years ago, please don't use

overall design of the login infrastructure, please post to a mailing

language, a-s stores languages and locales settings in both a-s and
~/.pam_environment. If you mount e.g. a USB with HOME

Just a little provoking question? What is actually the point of
AccountsService?
The fact that AccountsService stores the default session and language
for a user *locally* in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/$USER is actually
a very bad idea. There is a reasoning behind .dmrc being stored in the

Is it supposed to work for auto-login too? Because it doesn't work for

Looks good, I hadn't noticed that accounts service provided this. Note
that GDM doesn't appear to use this currently in git master. Also this
will probably break migrations? Needs to be investigated.
