fvwm, but I also tried icewm and fluxbox to be sure, that it's not the
window managers fault.

I thought: If I start fvwm via wdm, wdm reads ~/.xsession and passes the
environment to the windowmanager. But - alright - I can be wrong. I
already mentioned, that I'm, not an expert... ;)
What I don't understand then, is: Why do I have no problem when using
xdm instead of wdm? It should do the same, shouldn't it?

I can only guess, but: If it works on your computer(s) and it doesn't
work on mine - could it be hardware-dependent? I'm using a Thinkpad A21p
with an Ati Rage Mobility M3 GPU - wdm does seem to have problems with
the ati-xserver. (Remember: You can't login a second time, because some
keys - f.e. "Enter" - doesn't work unless you kill the xserver.)

I guess, this is already done by debconf. My */.xsession starts with the
line 

# ---- language-env DON'T MODIFY THIS LINE!

and ends with the same line. Between them the correct LANG environment
is configured. I won't touch this file - also because it looks good to
me.
