[Bug 952185] Re: ~/.pam_environment not parsed by default

[Sebastien Bacher]

@Gunnar: thanks for the work on that issue, for the SRU it would be
useful to have a testcase as well so testers know how to verify if the
fix is working as it should, could you add it to the bug summary?

Bug description:
  lightdm precise and gdm precise SRU proposals
  ---------------------------------------------
  [Impact]
  As was originally stated in the bug summary, ~/.pam_environment is not read at login if $HOME is encrypted. The lightdm (Precise) and gdm (Precise) SRUs fix that issue.

  [Regression Potential]
  Low.

  Previous description
  --------------------
  PAM needs to be told explicitly by respective service to parse ~/.pam_environment, since the fix of http://bugs.debian.org/611136 is about to make it into Raring. Please see comment #29 and #30.

  Otherwise the session environment will contain the system wide locale
  settings, while the user's locale settings are ignored.
