Perhaps.  I'd still like to confirm that.

Press Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get to a text console, and login there.  Do you
get a different result?  If you want to include the results in an
email, it might be helpful to redirect to a file:

Ctrl-Alt-F2
username
password
locale > ~/locale.out
exit

Ctrl-Alt-F1
open a terminal if necessary
cat ~/locale.out
paste into email if necessary

If you get a different result on the text console, that is strong evidence
that GNOME is overriding PAM's locale environment variables, and then
you would need to do something in GNOME to get the change you want.
