I've been trying to change my locale from utf-8 to de_DE.ISO8859-15 and
created a ~/.gnome2/gdm file like this:

   #!/bin/sh

   LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-15
   export LANG
   GDM_LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-15
   export GDM_LANG

I think this is wrong, because it has no effect. :-)

Is this feature documented somewhere or could you please give me an
example of the correct syntax in this file?

Thank you,
Uwe
