If nobody figures out what makes the variables in ~/.pam_environment be
overridden by the variables in /etc/default/locale, I'm thinking of an
ugly hack which may work.

~/.pam_environment is maintained by /usr/share/language-tools/save-to-
pam-env. In case of a GNOME desktop we could make that file write to
~/.profile as well.

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 it doesn't matter what display language I select
  - the effective language is still the one stated in
  /etc/default/locale. ~/.pam_environment is changed as expected, but
  the variables set in /etc/default/locale override ~/.pam_environment.

  In Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 language switching takes effect, but the reason
  for that seems to be that /etc/default/locale is changed as well, so
  when a user changes the display language (or format), it changes it
  for all users on the system.

  The overriding by /etc/default/locale is probably caused by some other
  package(s) but g-c-c.
