And same here, too. And the problem began with an apt-get
dist-upgrade one week ago. I have noticed that the command that KDE
tries have the option "--language en_US" (or something like that, I
don't remember it exactly), so I think that the problem is due to a
keyboard setup mismatch somewhere, as Bruno suggests. Anyway, the
LANG environment variable hasn't change (in any account, neither for
normal users nor for root).
