So it's possible to modify ~/.pam_environment with a script. But how do you update the system to use the changes? Not even reboot worked. This issue can manually be evaluated in order to make sure that the file content is correct:
* Set gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats in the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" list to "English (Canada)"
* Press on the Close button
* cp ~/.pam_environment ~/.pam_environment-canada
* Set gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats in the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" list to "English (United States)"
* cp ~/.pam_environment-canada ~/.pam_environment
* Open gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats, the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" is still set to "English (United States)"
* Log out/log in
* Open gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats, the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" is still set to "English (United States)"
* Reboot
* Open gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats, the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" is still set to "English (United States)"

How do you make the DE reload the new settings from ~/.pam_environment?

# [Feature request]: Implement command line option
Implemented command line options, for both user and system-wide settings, would be useful.
