No, but task-german-kde-desktop did not add anything anymore
root@aura:/etc# apt-get install task-german-kde-desktop

I think adding the locale de_DE.UTF-8 has fixed the issue. Is it expected that
KDE applications are more sensitive to this than other applications?
Does anybody know the definition of the LANGUAGE variable? Or what does
LANGUAGE=de:en_US
mean?
Thanks again
