I don't understand why this bug is marked "unreproducible". I find it
extremely reproducible, in that language selection ABSOLUTELY NEVER
WORKS.

> ~/.dmrc is always written with correct settings on login

That is just exactly what happens. Has anybody observed anything
different?

and quoting <p.brettner at bee.de>:

I have often wondered this, and not just in the context of this bug.
What's the point of writing software at all, if it's never going to be
made to work properly? It's almost as if nobody actually gives a rat's
ass.
