It turned out that on top of the normal variables that you get with "locale", there was also $LANGUAGE set which overrides many of those other variables. On top of that, some program had also dumped a file ~/.pam_environment into my home directory that also had overrides for the variables. I don't know where they both come from; I suspect one of the login managers (lightdm?) or the desktop-specific control center from Xfce or KDE. I find it extremely user-unfriendly to change a user's preferences that way, even worse, silently; but I don't know yet where this comes from. Getting rid of both fixed the problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
