yes, i experienced this on debian as well. setting LANG in lts.conf
worked for me. interestingly enough, someone discovered that it didn't
display the locale on initial run, but did after killing the X server.

they fixed it by sourcing the relevent locale settings and exporting
lang in the screen session.

we might want to explore doing that from the init scripts and/or
screen_session.

all the ones i've tested so far were pretty much based on european
languages- not sure if other character sets would be an issue here.
hopefully not..

i don't know anything about LDM_LANGUAGE, but i'm guessing that's more
for the language selection for the login session than what the greeter
displays.

sounds feasible.
