Paranoiac or not, at least you make it hard for yourself. ;-)

Should? Did you try the selecting way?

It should be the user language, if set, otherwise the system one. And
that's what it probably would have been if you had applied the default
feature to *select* the user you want to log in as. At least that's how
it works for me and other *ubuntu + lightdm-gtk-greeter users.

Currently it's accountsservice that provides the language. However, for
accountsservice to be able to do so, you must pass a username to it, and
that's what you do when *selecting* a user on the login screen.

You know what? Considering that you prefer to hide the user list from
the login screen, it might work better for you if you disable the
language selector feature in lightdm-gtk-greeter. You do so by setting

show-language-selector=false

in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter-ubuntu.conf

Title:
  Language selection always falls back to English

Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
