Well, I have isolated the problem to that "awful undocumented GUI thing
that starts X" - namely, gdm!
I first switched to multi-user.target, which provides the old familiar
UNIXy login: and ran 'startxfce4'. The `env` contained both
LC_COLLATE=C and LC_TIME=C.
Then I switched back to graphical.target, but also did
yum install lightdm, systemctl disable gdm, systemctl enable lightdm,
and after rebooting with a graphical login, found that my two
environment variables were present in the enviroment.
So gdm, once again, demonstrates a flagrant disregard of longstanding
standards and conventions. Ugh!
