I did some tests and identified a problem. If I use language-selector-
gnome to change from English (US) to Swedish, it looks like this:

$ sudo cat /var/lib/AccountsService/users/gunnar | grep Lang
Languages=sv:en_US:en;

Next:
* Relogin
* Open g-c-c from terminal and switch to Region & Language

Then you see this error message:

00:59:54.0364                   **[11007]: WARNING: Couldn't get locale for language: sv:en_US:en
00:59:54.0366         GnomeDesktop[11007]:CRITICAL: gnome_get_language_from_locale: assertion '*locale != '\0'' failed

This can be dealt with in different ways, but for now I think it's
better to change 0010-set-language.patch so it does not write the colon
separated language list into the accountsservice keyfile. That way the
language selector in lightdm-gtk-greeter keeps working as well.

So I have uploaded a change, which also allowed me to drop language-not-
xpg.patch.

Not sure if the upstream project is at all useful for us. In any case I
kind of fear the it will cause more issues...

Title:
  Check if 0010-set-language needs to be update for the new languages
  property

Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Upstream did changes to add a languages properties

  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/accountsservice/-/commit/881e0ea7

  I've rebased 0010-set-language to apply correctly but we should review
  if we need to adapt the patch to apply a similar logic to the new
  languages property that it's doing for old language one
