Side effects of this change:
- If the language selector is not enabled language settings are not changed.
- If "Language" is set (either in ~/.dmrc or in AccountsService) this the daemon will set LANG after PAM sets variables but before the session wrapper is run:
  - This will override PAM if you have it setup to set the language correctly (in my opinion the correct location to do it).  To stop this make sure nothing sets ~/.dmrc or AccountsService
  - If you set LANG in the session wrapper this will override the LANG set by the daemon (in the case of Ubuntu)
- If "Language" is not set no variables will be modified.  You will get what PAM sets and what the session wrapper overrides.
