[Bug 866062] [NEW] SetLanguage(): Write ~/.pam_environment instead of ~/.profile

 

Public bug reported:

Just discussed in #u-devel: We currently write the user's locale into
~/.profile, which is icky as it's a shell script. For 12.04 onward we
ought to use ~/.pam_environment and have it set by PAM.
