Bug description:
  In file session-child.c in function session_child_run() variable
  `locale_var_names` contains explicit list of locale environment
  variables to inherit. This list lacks of some LC_* variables:
  LC_PAPER, LC_NAME, LC_ADDRESS, LC_TELEPHONE, LC_MEASUREMENT and
  LC_IDENTIFICATION. As a result, these variables are not inherited by
  child session. Therefore, processes inside desktop session set these
  variables to the value of LANG, instead of appropriate values
  configured in /etc/locale.conf.

  $ more /etc/locale.conf 
  LANG=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8
  LC_NUMERIC=pl_PL.UTF-8
  LC_TIME=pl_PL.UTF-8
  LC_COLLATE=pl_PL.UTF-8
  LC_MONETARY=pl_PL.UTF-8
  LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_PAPER=pl_PL.UTF-8
  LC_NAME=pl_PL.UTF-8
  LC_ADDRESS=pl_PL.UTF-8
  LC_TELEPHONE=pl_PL.UTF-8
  LC_MEASUREMENT=pl_PL.UTF-8
  LC_IDENTIFICATION=pl_PL.UTF-8
  LC_ALL=

  Inside desktop session:

  $ locale
  LANG=en_US.utf8
  LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8
  LC_NUMERIC=pl_PL.UTF-8
  LC_TIME=pl_PL.UTF-8
  LC_COLLATE=pl_PL.UTF-8
  LC_MONETARY=pl_PL.UTF-8
  LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
  LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
  LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
  LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
  LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
  LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
  LC_ALL=

  Notice wrong values of LC_PAPER, LC_NAME, LC_ADDRESS, LC_TELEPHONE,
  LC_MEASUREMENT and LC_IDENTIFICATION (en_US.utf8 instead pl_PL.UTF-8).

  Fix:

  Add LC_PAPER, LC_NAME, LC_ADDRESS, LC_TELEPHONE, LC_MEASUREMENT and
  LC_IDENTIFICATION  to the `locale_var_names` array in file session-
  child.c.
