Looking at an Ubuntu 7.04 installation on which I don't run SS, I see
that the following method is used by the gdm startup script to set
LANG:

if [ -r /etc/environment ]; then
if LANG=$(pam_getenv -l LANG); then
export LANG
fi
if LANGUAGE=$(pam_getenv -l LANGUAGE); then
export LANGUAGE
fi

fi

On this system, /etc/environment contains:

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
