~/.pam_environment should be changed when you change Language or Format from the GUI. The fact that it looked like United Kingdom was set as Format indicates that things were out of sync. If you for instance change Format to something else, and then back to United Kingdom, I think you'll notice that ~/.pam_environment is changed accordingly.
