The fact, that I just spent quite some time to help synchronize GDM and
language-selector with respect to the controls of languages/locales,
makes me probably disinclined to listen to a suggestion to drop GDM's
language picker. Yes, I for one am biased, no doubt about it. ;-)

Please be assured that I have no other goal but making it better for end
users; working with bug 693337 is my latest effort in that direction.
One important thing that remains, to complete the changes, is to revise
the related documentation.

As regards the data storage, the user settings for LANGUAGE and
LC_MESSAGES are now stored in /var/cache/gdm/$USER/dmrc and ~/.dmrc,
while the user settings for LANG (and other LC_* variables, when
applicable) are stored in ~/.profile. It's not _that_ complicated, is
it? OTOH, I imagine that it's more important to Linux beginners that the
GUI makes sense.
