Perhaps this file (and the corresponding GDM 2.4 file in ~/.gnome2) should be added to the language-env tool. Currently, language-env sets up the environment that your shell uses, which is why you see the correct locale from inside the terminal (once you have started a shell). But gnome-session is started by GDM, not by your shell, and your gnome desktop is started by gnome-session. It would also help if GDM sourced /etc/environment and used the settings there as defaults.
