Title:
  login only offers japanese environment

Status in “lightdm-gtk-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After upgrading from precise to trusty lightdm only offers to log in
  to a Japanese environment now (lightdm login screen, the pulldown only
  has "ja" on offer).  I looked around but could not spot why this would
  be.

  $ sudo rgrep -i ja_JP /etc/

  $ cat /etc/environment 
  PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"
  LC_MESSAGES="C"

  I thought that maybe this behaviour is due to the ja_JP folders inside
  /etc/X11 and those belong to timidity.

  $ dpkg -S /etc/X11/ja_JP.*
  timidity: /etc/X11/ja_JP.UTF-8
  timidity: /etc/X11/ja_JP.eucJP

  The strange (and upsetting) thing is that this even overrides an
  explicit setting I have made.

  $ cat ~/.environment 
  #LANGUAGE="en_US:en"
  LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_MESSAGES="C"
