[Bug 1077267] [NEW] Setting language localization doesn't set system-wide

I am running Precise 64 bit... when I install and set localization to US
English it doesn't set language system wide.. by that I mean Thunderbird
uses Australian English dictionary, Firefox initially uses British
English and other applications, Drivel for example will continue to use
other English language dictionary (not sure which one but it likes
favourite not favorite). I know that I can go from application to
application changing them all but it really is wasteful to have to do
so... I don't understand why at install time your language selection
cannot do this. Also, in regards to Drivel, it will continue to use
other English unless I delete all other language packs from
/usr/share/hunspell/ and these other languages seem to come back every
time Firefox upgrades. This is very frustrating. I refuse to believe
that it is not possible to have the install process language settings
respected system wide.
