I agree.

I do not have an /etc/environment file at all. All I do is include
/etc/language-de in my .bashrc which is included by my .bash_profile. gdm
adds another variable named GDM_LANG to my environment. But since gdm itself
does not honor the locale the bug has to be elsewhere. After all gdm is
started by init and no locale is set there. No, I do not set any variable
via lilo. :-)
