The patch #36 (36_language_environment_settings.patch) damaged my desktop environment by setting LANGUAGES.

I'm Japanese and my LANG is "ja_JP.UTF-8", but because of some reasons my LC_MESSAGES is set to "C" by .gnomerc and .zshenv to display non-translated messages/texts. This worked very well for me.

After upgrading to Natty, however, it went badly. Because GDM now sets LANGUAGES as "ja_JP:en_US:en" and this setting overrides LC_MESSAGES in many applications.

Mine is not a major requirement, but setting LANGUAGE is too strong and overriding various settings including LC_XXX.
