Update xfconf.py: make locale-independent (#744)

* Update xfconf.py

- ensure correct behaviour, even in desktop environments which don't use English as the default language
- add double as content type

* set environ_update for entire module

* set envvar LANGUAGE instead of LANG because of priority order in evaluating them
