Description Nir Magnezi 2013-10-28 13:44:20 UTC 
Description of problem:
=======================
When a user changes language or timezone, those changed are not persistant.
The expected behavior is that the setting will be persistent between sessions, but it's not.
I've found this problem in Havana as well, but it was fixed upstream[1]
A backport for this fix will resolve this issue.

This is old, and known. 

Until sessions are stored in databases, as documented in our RHOS docs, your user settings will be forgotten.
