I have created a ~/.login.conf to set LANG but when I login via lightdm it has
no effect (works on SSH though).

I think this could be fixed by patching lightdm to add a call to
setusercontext(), ie graft the code from xdm:
https://github.com/freedesktop/xorg-xdm/blob/master/xdm/session.c#L669

into session-child.c around line 540:
https://github.com/canonical/lightdm/blob/653809c387c0a4e4d96f7999db3106d89970d4c7/src/session-child.c#L540

I plan on trying it soon but would appreciate some feedback since it's security
related.
