[Bug 2035212] Re: [Feature request]: Command line option

[David Hedlund]

** Description changed:

  The settings for gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats in the
  "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" list, are
  stored in ~/.pam_environment
  
  # How is it possible to make the DE reload the new values from ~/.pam_environment
  So it's possible to modify ~/.pam_environment with a script. But how do you update the system to use the changes? Not even reboot worked. This issue can manually be evaluated in order to make sure that the file content is correct:
  * Set gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats in the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" list to "English (Canada)"
  * Press on the Close button
  * cp ~/.pam_environment ~/.pam_environment-canada
  * Set gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats in the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" list to "English (United States)"
  * cp ~/.pam_environment-canada ~/.pam_environment
  * Open gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats, the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" is still set to "English (United States)"
  * Log out/log in
  * Open gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats, the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" is still set to "English (United States)"
  * Reboot
  * Open gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats, the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" is still set to "English (United States)"
  
- How do you make the DE reload the new settings from ~/.pam_environment?
+ How do you make the DE load the new settings from ~/.pam_environment to

+ numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" list?
  
  # [Feature request]: Implement command line option
  Implemented command line options, for both user and system-wide settings, would be useful.

  # How is it possible to make the DE reload the new values from ~/.pam_environment
  So it's possible to modify ~/.pam_environment with a script. But how do you update the system to use the changes? Not even reboot worked. This issue can manually be evaluated in order to make sure that the file content is correct:
  * `locale` variables is set to "en_US" -- if you installed the distro with the default settings
  * Set gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats in the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" list to "English (Canada)"
  * Press on the Close button
  * `locale` variables is set to "en_US"
  * cp ~/.pam_environment ~/.pam_environment-canada
  * Set gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats in the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" list to "English (United States)"
  * cp ~/.pam_environment-canada ~/.pam_environment
  * Open gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats, the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" is still set to "English (United States)"
  * Log out/log in
  * `locale` variables is set to "en_CA"
  * Open gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats, the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" is still set to "English (United States)"
  * Reboot
  * Open gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats, the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" is still set to "English (United States)"

  How do you make the DE load the new settings from ~/.pam_environment
  to be visible in gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats, the
  "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" list?
