Bug description:
  When using localization setup from the login screen, the choice
  doesn't work because of a permission error, if the user's home
  directory is mounted with nfs. The problem happens because this is
  done by root, usually not able to write over nfs shares. The problem
  disappears if home directories are exported with no_root_squash
  option. So, something is making access as root, instead as user.

  I'm using Precise.
