gnome-language-selector does not switch for individual profile

[Gábor Lipták]

Binary package hint: language-selector

On an English Ubuntu system, I installed an additional language (as administrator).

When logged on as a different user, using gnome-language-selector allowed me to select to the other language, but after logging in again, the desktop was still in English.

As a workaround I added these exports to the .profile:

export LANG=
export LANGUAGE=
export GDM_LANG=
export GDM_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT=

and the desktop is now running in the other language.
