           Summary: gdm doesn't properly save newly selected language as

Part #1:

When I manually selected a different language in gdm and evade bug 309064,
after login gdm asks me whether I wish to make Czech the default for future
sessions. However, even if I agree and click [ Make default ], the locale
settings will be always applied only for the single session and the next time I
try to login, system language is used again.


Part #2:

Most probably related (otherwise I will happily file a separate bug), in the
about 15 test logins I have hit two cases where the locale was inconsistent
_inside_ the session:

First time, I've just set language for the session to cs_CZ and gnome-main-menu
used en_US. (I didn't manually check environment of other running processes.)

The second time, I've just logged out from a session that was selected to be
cs_CZ (and set default) and logged in again - everything was en_US (which is
the main part of the bug), but gnome-main-menu was cs_CZ! I grepped through
/proc/*/environ and found that also bonobo-activation-server, Tomboy.exe and
mixer_applet2 used cs_CZ .

I didn't find a way to reliably reproduce this behaviour.
