Right, I'm slowly realizing that. ;-)

Talked briefly with Will on IRC, and he let me know that accountsservice is used as is in Ubuntu Touch for setting language and formats. So from an Ubuntu Touch POV I agree it is a bug.

There are a few advantages with maintaining ~/.pam_environment from one place. I suppose it would be easy to modify accountsservice so it checks whether it runs on Ubuntu Touch, and if so only sets one language in LANGUAGE instead of trying to maintain a priority list.

Then when language-selector-gnome has been replaced in Unity with the region capplet in g-c-c, accountsservice would behave one way in Unity, UbuntuGNOME and Ubuntu Touch, and one way in Xubuntu and Lubuntu.
