[Gnome - GDM] Locale/Charset Problem

Hi everybody,

I´m using Gnome with GDM as Display Manager.
I got a problem with my keyboard settings, but don´t know why

The first charset/locale option is set in the /boot/grub/menu.lst
kernel /vmlinuz26 lang=de locale=de_DE.UTF8 root=/dev.....
I use a LUKS encrypted /home partition and need a german locale/charset for the passphrase/during bootup.

The second charset option is in my /etc/rc.conf:
LOCALE="de_DE.UTF8"
KEYMAP="de"

With those settings I got an almost "normal" keyboard behaviour.
The Umlaut-Character for example arent´t working during bootup or in a tty. In a later started shell inside of Gnome everything works fine.
The second charset problem is during password input inside GDM. The layout isn´t working right here either.
I already tried the ./dmrc settings of Language and Keys, but nothing works.

Anyone got a clue how to fix that?
