Hey there, I've been having some problems with GDM recently (freeze after reboot, freeze after suspend) so I thought I'd give lightdm a shot. So far everything works great, but I cannot set a language for a lightdm session.
My system locale is set to en_US.utf8 because when working with command line tools I prefere if they talk english to me. But I like my Desktop (everything running under X) to be in german. With GDM that was no problem: just set the system locale to english and create a .dmrc file in the home directory where you set 'Language=de_DE.UTF-8' Lightdm ignores that file. After some google foo I found that if you edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf and set 'show-language-selector=true' you can choose a language before logging in (like with GDM) - however, I can choose what i wan't, my Desktop is still in english. So far it seems that nothing works, except setting the system's default locale to german in /etc/env.d/02locale - but that's not what I want. Do you have any thoughts?
