When there are patches available for whatever we decide is the right
behaviour, you shouldn't need to walk through the whole install process.
It should be enough to:

* install the proposed gnome-initial-setup and/or libgnome-desktop-4-2
* as a privileged (root-equivalent) user, use GNOME Settings or adduser
  to create a new user account
* Log Out or Switch User
* log in as the new user account

You should get the gnome-initial-setup dialog again for the new user,
the first time they log in.

Delete the new user and create another one to continue testing.

If you can't read Japanese, it would probably be helpful to set the
system language to Japanese but set your root-equivalent user's language
to English.
