SRU note
--------
I suggest that the linked branch is uploaded to oneiric-proposed. The change (patch attached) is identical with the change to LanguageSelector/gtk/GtkLanguageSelector.py at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/language-selector/precise/revision/146

Even if I don't know the exact reason why unicode strings may be passed
to locale.setlocale() also in Oneiric, the fact that it apparently can
happen is a good enough reason IMO to backport the Precise fix to
Oneiric as an SRU, especially since the regression risk is zero.
