Then it has to be some global file/setting the one making noise.

Is that comment (#) right? Mine is not :-?

sm01@stt008:~$ cat /etc/default/locale
LANG="es_ES.UTF-8"

Here's mine:

sm01@stt008:~$ cat .dmrc


[Desktop]
Session=default

(I only have one locale configured, though, "es_ES.UTF-8")

Not really :-(

Maybe you can try to re-run "dpkg-reconfigure locales" and see how that 
goes. Also, when you have the time, search for the "offending" locale  
string in the whole system. If it's displayed under the GDM 3 greeter it 
has to be set somewhere...
