  I have a Spanish keymap here, plus messages in English in the greeter.
  AFAICT, you should be setting the keymap in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, 
  right? E.g.:

    $ grep -i language /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc
    # Language and locale to use in the greeter, encoded like $LC_LANG.
    # Language=

    $ grep -i XkbLayout /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
      Option		"XkbLayout"	"es"

  What are the steps you follow?
