I just bumped into this: installed Fedora 19, updated all packages, and the first thing I did was to change LANG=en_US.UTF-8 to LANG=en_US.iso88591 in /etc/locale.conf. After rebooting the system, when I log into GNOME Shell with my regular user and execute "locale" I still see the old en_US.UTF-8. I could change the locale thru my user's .bashrc but that would affect only the bash session.

Hi,
Is there any update on this? A "can't reproduce", "wont fix in F19", "known issue" etc would be enough.
Thanks,
Jorge
gnome-shell doesn't touch any locale settings, the upstream bug identified gdm not passing on LC_COLLATE to gnome-session.

i just posted a comment to the upstream report:
This really should be handled by pam_systemd. see:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-January/007908.html
But that hasn't merged yet. In the meantime, /etc/profile.d/lang.sh has this:
if [ -n "$LANG" ]; then
...
else
for langfile in /etc/locale.conf "$HOME/.i18n" ; do
[ -f $langfile ] && . $langfile && sourced=1
done
fi
if [ "$sourced" = 1 ]; then
...
[ -n "$LC_COLLATE" ] && export LC_COLLATE || unset LC_COLLATE
...
fi
but GDM sets LANG so locale.conf isn't getting source. the fix, I guess, is to not set LANG so lang.sh works.

Let's just dupe this to bug 1056181. If we go that route, the upstream commit isn't needed, and the upstream commit isn't really good enough on its own since it requires a daemon restart for changes to take affect.
