Bug#296230: Different variables for language and locale

[Christian Kurz <shorty@debian.org>]

Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.3.2-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

currently I'm not able to configure kdm to use a german keymap but use
english language in the greeter. kdm forces me to decide between either
having a german keymap, as I'm using when logged in and german text. Or
I'm getting all text in english, but then I'm also having a US keymap.
Please consider adding the possibility of having a german keymap while
having at the same time english texts. Thanks!

Christian
