Why do you have that? gdm sets your $LANG for you. Changing it for a
single application (your terminal) is bound to mess stuff up. Just
choose a non-UTF-8 locale in the locale chooser in gdm, and you're set!

$LANG has to be set to de_DE for GDM. You can do it system wide somehow
(don't know too much about gentoo), or you can add it at the top of
your /etc/init.d/gdm (or whatever it's called in gentoo).
