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
