When using localization setup from the login screen, the choice doesn't work because of a permission error, if the user's home directory is mounted with nfs. The problem happens because this is done by root, usually not able to write over nfs shares. The problem disappears if home directories are exported with no_root_squash option. So, something is making access as root, instead as user.
