How did I configure my locale to be C in gdm?

The reportbug script attaches the values which are supposedly non-default:
[daemon]
BaseXsession=/etc/X11/Xsession
[security]
[xdmcp]
[gui]
[greeter]
[chooser]
[debug]
[servers]
 and my .dmrc has this:
[Desktop]
Session=xmonad

I don't see any locale configured there.

Thanks

Michal
