+Subject: [PATCH] gnome-session: avoid setting LC_ unless LANG and region
+ disagree
+
+At the moment, gnome-session explicitly sets the various LC_ variables
+to the user configured region.
+
+That's unnecessary, though.  If the LC_ variables are unset,
+applications know to use LANG.  Furthermore, setting the LC_ variables
+makes it so you can't override them with LANG anymore.
+
+This commit makes sure the LC_ variables only get set when absolutely
+necesary. That is, when they are different than LANG.
