Martin, my plan was to fix the issues that that patch tries to solve in
g-c-c 3.2.1 and then completely remove this patch from the package. I
could just fix a couple, since the others seemed a bit risky for a SRU,
so the patch from Gunnar fixes this bug really for Oneiric users. There
shouldn't be any impact for stable users, since we are getting the list
of languages from another place anyway, so commenting out that call
doesn't really affect much. My plan is to completely remove this Ubuntu-
specific patch for Precise and, if possible, in a late SRU for Oneiric.

So, this should be safe, has been tested for a couple of weeks now. The
2 variables are initialized at the beginning of the function, so no
problem with that.

Title:
  sets $LANG to a language name

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-control-center” source package in Oneiric:
  Incomplete
Status in “lightdm” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  As of the last oneiric upgrade I performed (I'm not certain, but I
  think this was from lightdm 0.9.7-0ubuntu2 to 1.0.0-0ubuntu3), my
  locale has been broken; it is now set to en_GB rather than to
  en_GB.UTF-8.  I've attached lightdm.log, of which the salient lines
  seem to be:

    [+8.46s] DEBUG: Launching process 2603: /usr/sbin/lightdm-session 'gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d'
    [+8.46s] DEBUG: pam_setcred(0x930a6c8, PAM_ESTABLISH_CRED) -> 0 (Success)
    [+8.46s] DEBUG: PAM returns environment 'GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/tmp/keyring-JAW17p GNOME_KEYRING_PID=2592 PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8:en'
    [+8.46s] DEBUG: Registering session with bus path /org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Session0
    [+8.47s] DEBUG: Using locale en_GB for language en_GB

  Please fix this urgently; it's bad to have regressed to a legacy
  encoding.  We should be using UTF-8 for everything unless explicitly
  configured otherwise, and we definitely shouldn't be ignoring explicit
  configuration of UTF-8.
