The output `gsettings get`, if it's a string, is surrounded by single-quotes. So when the recently-added `gnome-settings-daemon-localeexec` script calls SETTING=$(gsettings get org.gnome.system.locale region) the resulting variables have a pair of single-quotes *in their value*. Those should be stripped with SETTING=${SETTING//\'/} before setting $LC_TIME or whatever, otherwise programs complain.

(...while you're at it: #!/bin/sh would be more proper, as the script does not use any bash features, and bash isn't even always at the same location (only 'sh' is).)
