Commenting the LANG setting in /etc/profile solved this 'problem'. However, I'm wondering if this was occasionally me or something that needs a fix or is allready fixed.

I've fixed this for -Release.. You need to add this to /etc/profile:

if [ -z "$LANG" -o "$LANG" = "C" ] ; then
  LANG="en_US.UTF-8"; export LANG
fi


And to /etc/csh.cshrc

if ( $?LANG ) then
else
  setenv LANG en_US.UTF-8
endif


That will fix it getting reset to english after you select a language in
GDM :)
