Now this is strange. I see in /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log the entry
"Greeter sets language fr_FR", and it's not followed by any error
message. Still, as you say, Language is not set in
/var/lib/AccountsService/users/scheuer.

Furthermore, since Language isn't set in
/var/lib/AccountsService/users/scheuer, accountsservice should fall back
to the language in /etc/default/locale. So French (France) should be
pre-selected at login.

I wouldn't think that those warning messages in x-0-greeter.log are
related. (I have one of those warnings myself.)

OTOH I'm kind of lost. I tested with my own relatively clean Xubuntu
installation (it's Xubuntu you are using, right?), and it behaves as
expected in this respect.

You could of course try to manually edit
/var/lib/AccountsService/users/scheuer and add these lines:

Language=fr_FR
FormatsLocale=fr_FR.UTF-8

Title:
  Language selection always falls back to English

Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I upgraded two amd64 computers from 13.04 to 13.10, and discovered on both that the language is set to English (whereas I selected French language at the beginning of the upgrade).
  Moreover, each time I set it back to French, dragging both French (France and Canada) and some English (UK & US) on top of the default English in the language selection list, default English comes back on top at next login.

  I even tried to modify my .pam_environment (in console mode) and the
  /etc/environment to set fr_FR as the default, no way: gnome-language-
  selector seems to force default English as default at each connection!

  Hopefully, I do understand English, but this is turning me mad.
