An update on this issue:
- As Gunnar stated not all desktops provide a method of configuring LANG, so for legacy reasons it would  be nice to be able to set it from the greeter.
- I'm happy to support this as a legacy interface for LightDM 1.0, the issue is to do it in a way that does not conflict with more advanced uses of setting LANG (e.g. if PAM was to set LANG which in my opinion is the correct location to do it).
