I tested your change, without the "readenv=1" that seems useless
according to pam_env(8) (even if it is indeed used by a lot of services
in /etc/pam.d), and it works (logout + "invoke-rc.d lightdm restart" at
each try, to be sure). The "auth" to "session" change looks right, too,
now that you point it out. Also, please note that even without the
second line, my locale get set correctly? but every other service seems
to do it, so?

Thanks for your time looking into this problem and fixing it!
