gdm doesn't read /etc/environment. It reads /etc/profile. You've got to
set LANG there. "/usr/bin/gdm" is only a script:

#!/bin/sh
# A script so that
#    1) we read the standard system env vars
#    2) syadmins/integrators can add their own private options etc...
 
test -f /etc/profile && . /etc/profile
 
exec /usr/bin/gdm-binary "$@"
 
# fallback, use PATH
exec gdm-binary "$@"
