Title:
  New users should have the system default locale, not the admin one

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  New
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  New users are created with the admin's current language (the value of
  the LC_MESSAGES environment variable) as the initial language. It
  would make more sense IMO to let the system language, as set in
  /etc/default/locale, serve as the initial language at user creation.

  I suppose that 'the culprit' is the
  cc_common_language_get_current_language() function in panels/common
  /cc-common-language.c. Personally I question the adequateness of that
  function, so one idea would be to replace it with e.g. a
  cc_default_system_language() function that parses /etc/default/locale.
