Hmmm. It looks like /etc/profile.d/lang.csh will assign the value of 
GDM_LANG to _local_ variable LANG, but not the update the environment; it 
uses "set" rather than "setenv". Is that what it's meant to do, or is it a 
bug? (I know this is somewhat off-topic, but I'm never quite sure where to 
ask this kind of questions.)
