I can't find any way to check my locale on the GDM login page. Am I 
missing something?

Once I've logged in, "set | grep ^L" in a GNOME terminal says LANG is 
set to "en_US". The variable GDM_LANG has the same value.

Strangeness... When I click on my name while logged in and open System 
Settings, and then click on Region and Language, the language that's set 
is "English (United States) [ISO-8859-1]". If I click on "English" 
instead, which is a separate language in the listing, and then close the 
settings window, log out and log back in, and open the settings again, 
it's /again/ set to "English (United States) [ISO-8859-1]". Is it a bug 
that the change to "English" doesn't stick?
