One option involves editing /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/locale.alias, and change the "english" locale to either en_US.ISO_8859-1 or en_GB.ISO_8859-1 depending on what English you prefer. If you don't feel like editing a file, just make sure you select either American English or British English from the Language menu in gdm.
