I didn't click "Apply System-Wide". When I changed the language in g-c-c
/etc/default/locale was written to (LANG and LANGUAGE were updated). I
agree that this is unexpected behaviour though, I wouldn't expect the
current user's setting to be applied system-wide unless explicitly
requested.

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.
