I started using 'slim' a while back for obvious reasons - which as far as
I can see has no way of choosing locale. There are countless other possible
ways to start Xfce other than through gdm and kdm... xdm?!

I understand that {k,g}dm have set a default. But many of us don't appreciate
the price that comes with it, and resort to `startxfce4` or some alternative
to slim.
