"LCMess" and "Langlist" are fields in dmrc for storing language settings on disk, while the list you posted contains environment variables.

The short explanation to the current solution: While we want that GDM stores the new settings on disk, if the user changes language from the greeter, the boot might fail if we let GDM save things under /home. That's why we expanded the use of /var/cache/gdm/$USER/dmrc.

For the long explanaion, please study the discussions at bug 553162 and https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633295.

I see from the screenshot that KDE offers a gui for fine-tuning the non-language locale settings, and I agree that it would be good if language-selector could be further developed along those lines. It would be great if you could file a separate bug about that. (This bug tends to contain too many topics.)
