I agree. With that, and the fact that the majority of use cases are
already covered by the system wide default locale/language, I see
little reason for putting back the huge complexity of a language
selector in the login manager again. It took two releases, Perl
scripts, a lot of shell code in XSession, and many bug fixes to get it
working in a reasonable manner, and it is still prone to fail.

Thanks,

Martin
