Well, I can live with that - for now :) Thx Still hope lightdm will behave like GDM in the future. If you google around you find some bugs related to "set language" issues, so there's still hope.

Yeah I did, everything is working fine, except playing videos files using the xv video out and ati-drivers. But there's already a bugreport on bugzilla: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=391193

So far everything works great, but I cannot set a language for a lightdm session. My system locale is set to en_US.utf8 because when working with command line tools I prefere if they talk english to me. But I like my Desktop (everything running under X) to be in german. With GDM that was no problem: just set the system locale to english and create a .dmrc file in the home directory where you set 'Language=de_DE.UTF-8' Lightdm ignores that file. After some google foo I found that if you edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf and set 'show-language-selector=true' you can choose a language before logging in (like with GDM) - however, I can choose what i wan't, my Desktop is still in english. So far it seems that nothing works, except setting the system's default locale to german in /etc/env.d/02locale - but that's not what I want. Do you have any thoughts? Not directly related to your question, but perhaps related to your problem: Did you rebuild all of the xf86 drivers and modules after updating xorg from 1.10 to 1.11? I didn't run into a problem until xscreensaver kicked in.
