Title:
  /etc/gdm/Xsession breaks LANGUAGE

Status in GDM: The Gnome Display Manager:
  Fix Released
Status in Ubuntu Translations:

Status in gdm package in Ubuntu:

Status in gdm source package in Lucid:

Status in gdm source package in Karmic:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  /etc/gdm/Xsession contains:

    if [ -n "$LANGUAGE" ]; then
      if [ "$LANGUAGE" != "$LANG" ]; then
        LANGUAGE="$LANG"
      fi

  LANGUAGE is not only an extension of LC_MESSAGES (not LANG), it
  doesn’t even have the same syntax as LANG.

  My locale settings (whom /etc/gdm/Xsession breaks):

  LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8
  LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
  LANGUAGE=en_US:en

  I.e. “use fi for stuff like month names, paper size and units, but en
  for the UI strings and decimal numbers”.
