Description Jos Vos 1999-04-05 19:58:06 UTC

When selecting another language in the gdm window for a KDE
session you are asked whether you want to have this as the
default language for future sessions.  Although _this_
session appears in the chosen language, future sessions
appear to have English as the default language again.
I don't know whether this default would be kept for the
whole system or for individual users (somewhere in
/etc/X11/gdm ?), but I couldn't find anything back.

gdm doesn't interface perfectly with KDE.  It may or may not in future
versions.  If you prefer, remove gdm and use kdm.
