Bug#265865: Solution

[Tobias Rupf <tobias.rupf@gmx.de>]

The reason is a new /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession. Just replace it by a symlink 
to /etc/X11/Xsession or source this file instead, as it is done in KDE 
3.2. If you also want your .profile sourced (as the original 
/etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession does), than you may copy this part of 
/etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession to an new file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90setenv (or 
some other name in this directory). This will set you the correct locale 
for none-KDE apllications.

I don't know, why that has changed, I personally think, it should be the 
default way in Debian.
