[gnome-shell] Locale are being everwritten by gnome

Hi,

I have problems with locale on fresh install of Arch with gdm and gnome-shell

My /etc/locale.conf

...
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
...
LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8
...
LC_MONETARY=pl_PL.UTF-8
...

Inside of tty's - all fine, works like a charm
On gnome login page - ok (calendar starts on Monday and is in English)
After logon - all switches to pl_PL, including gnome-terminal

'localectl' output in tty and gnome-terminal looks ok (like /etc/locale.conf)
'locale' output differs (tty ok, but gnome-terminal shows all pl_PL)

Workarounds:
.bashrc - export of some LC_X, but works only in terminal, not for gnome calendar
manually editing locale in /usr/share - will probably work, but still not a solution

Where/when gnome overwrites that? In gnome-settings I can set it for, lets say, en_US but then it is the same problem - all in en_US. There is no way to edit locale there separately.

Thanks for any tips.

Hey, how about going to the gnome control panel and to Region & Language, then setting Language to English with format to United States. What you could also do is to edit /etc/locale.gen and un-comment the relevant locales, save and exit /etc/locale.gen, and then run locale-gen. Have a look at this for reference.
