Ah, I see. g-i-s is gnome-initial-setup. I expect it would be set
correctly if you had not created a user during install but instead done
it post-install with g-i-s. I guess if you create a user during install,
nothing in GNOME explicitly sets that user's personal locale and instead
you'll be using the system-wide one, or something like that. I don't
know whether GNOME would consider that a bug or not - best ask them.
