[Bug 952185] Re: ~/.pam_environment not parsed by default

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

A Precise build of lightdm with the proposed fix is available in my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/misc
Please feel free to install, test, and report possible issues.

Closing some less important tasks.

** Description changed:

- PAM needs to be told explicitly by respective service to parse
- ~/.pam_environment, since the fix of http://bugs.debian.org/611136 is
- about to make it into Raring. Please see comment #29 and #30.
+ lightdm precise and gdm precise SRU proposals
+ ---------------------------------------------
+ [Impact]
+ As was originally stated in the bug summary, ~/.pam_environment is not read at login if $HOME is encrypted. The lightdm (Precise) and gdm (Precise) SRUs fix that issue.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Low.

  Otherwise the session environment will contain the system wide locale
  settings, while the user's locale settings are ignored.
