Title:
  SetLanguage(): Write ~/.pam_environment instead of ~/.profile

Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “accountsservice” source package in Precise:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  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.
