Thanks for the additional info, Christian.

The failed file test that results in the warning "not access to HOME yet so language not saved" happens in accountsservice and is certainly made as root. So I wrote a patch that makes that code be run as user instead.

I applied the patch in a branch which was uploaded to my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/misc
Raring builds of the branch should be available in a couple of hours.

It would be great if you or somebody else with HOME on NFS could install that accountsservice package on a Raring system, so we can find out if the change makes a difference.
