Hi,

I've installed sysutils/accountsservice now but can't confirm that the
settings from /etc/login.conf or ~/.login.conf are respected. I've even
modified /etc/login.conf and run as root 'cap_mkdb -v /etc/login.conf'

$ grep :lang /etc/login.conf ~/.login.conf
/etc/login.conf:	:lang=de_DE.UTF-8:
/etc/login.conf:	:lang=ru_RU.UTF-8:\
~/.login.conf:	:lang=de_DE.UTF-8:

$ cat ~/.login.conf
#
# overwrite values from /etc/login.conf

me:\
	:charset=UTF-8:\
	:lang=de_DE.UTF-8:

$ env | grep LANG
LANG=C.UTF-8

I also feel no improvement of the desktop boot time. It takes around 28
seconds from 'startx' until plasma is ready.
