nit: update comment

[Denis Lagno, 2011/01/25 15:46:43]

but..but..but cannot see what changed in this respect?

Right, it didn't mention LocaleOverride.
I've thought about having a Backup/Accepted usage described somewhere.

 // and user's profile.  Global property determines locale of login screen,
 // while user's profile determines his personal locale preference.
 extern const char kApplicationLocale[];
 #if defined(OS_CHROMEOS)
 extern const char kApplicationLocaleBackup[];

Is it possible to create a table somewhere that will look like
                AppLocale Backup Accepted
Initial login      A        -       - 
Sync               B        A       -
Accept             B        A       A (?)
Revert             A        ?       ?
Local change       C        ?       ?

Made an attempt.
