Ok, I found it. So simple that it makes one laugh/cry: Our users' home 
directories have been created without execution bits by 'DIR_MODE=700' 
in /etc/adduser, since years obviously. Never noticed that, it never was 
an issue.

The ones of the test users have been created by myself and they were 
755, that's why they worked.

Ok, after chmodding all of our homes, your accountsservice package seems 
to work (at least on 5 pcs with 5 accounts. And yes, I checked: without 
your package the language settings still didn't work)

So how about your repo, is it safe to add it on all our machines, or are 
there be more experimental changes to be expected? Best would be your 
package would flow back into Ubuntu Precise.

Thanks a lot for your work Gunnar!

Cheerz,
Lars
