The reason you don't get a lighting effect is because applying a lighting environment is equivalent to using GL_LIGHTING related methods.
Attaching a shader to a mesh makes the shader program produce the material. At that point, any OpenGL lighting methods no longer influence the material, but they are still valid. What one does is to reference GL_LIGHT0 through 8, and GL_DIFFUSE, etc, to receive the values into your shader as variables. That way you can have many meshes with different shaders, creating various different material effects while sending info "globally" from OpenGL lighting. You wouldn't want the stock OpenGL lighting to simply be applied on top of a shader anyway since it's per vertex. Using glsl in conjunction with the lighting environment you can get best of both worlds.
