Thanks for your help to improve Ubuntu by reporting this bug!

The problem with incorrect failures in accountsservice when HOME is on
NFS was also reported in bug 1083605, and a fix has been uploaded to
Ubuntu 13.04. I attach a patch with a fix for 12.04.

accountsservice builds for 12.04 (Precise) including the fix are available in my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/misc
Lars, can you please install that version of accountsservice and let us know if it fixes the issue for you.

** Patch added: "accountsservice_precise-sru_lp-1156670.diff"
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1156670/+attachment/3582989/+files/accountsservice_precise-sru_lp-1156670.diff

** Tags added: patch

** Changed in: accountsservice (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released

** Description changed:

- There is no possibility to choose language in an interactive way in
- Ubuntu 12.04, neither with XFCE4 nor with Gnome, neither with lightdm
- nor with GDM3 when home dirs aren't on local drive.
+ [Impact] 
+ Accountsservice incorrectly prevents you from changing the user language if HOME is on NFS.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ Can be reproduced anytime on Precise when logged in as a user whose HOME is on NFS.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential] 
+ Minimal.

  Error message:
  gdm-session-worker[2009]: AccountsService-WARNING: SetLanguage call failed: not access to HOME yet so language not saved
  
  That's a bummer, I have users from all over the world, they need to be
  able to choose their own language.
