My user root is primarily english with a german keyboard layout. All local users are primarily german. This works fine on a terminal. root: german keyboard, english ouutput of programs, local users everything is german. Now I recognized that KDM is still using a english keyboard layout. This is confusing especially when using password with special characters. Changing ROOT_USES_LANG="ctype" to "yes" doesn't change anything. Ok, I also don't know how KDM is started, but I guess it's somehow related to root. Nevertheless, KDM should use in this case a german keyboard layout. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. root primary language englisch 2. keyboard layout german Actual Results: KDM still uses the englisch layout Expected Results: KDM should use a german layout. There should be some configuration available in Yast(?) to change the layout. Maybe there should be also a dropdown menu directly in KDM to be more flexible.
