Configuring sddm

KDE 4.14.2

In preperation for my move to KDE 5 I thought I would start using sddm. It all works fine but a couple of niggles:

1) On the login screen the only layout available from the drop down box is US - How can I change this to UK. Once logged in my KB layout is UK so no biggie.
2) On the login screen where you can select session it has DE's available to be selected that I haven't even got installed. How can I remove them?

I installed sddm-kcm from AUR. I thought this would create a section in KDE System Settings that would enable me to configure sddm but I can't see anything there.

Thanks for any help.

Re: Configuring sddm

The available DE's come from the .desktop files in /usr/share/xsessions, check which packages have files installed there. My SDDM only shows "Plasma" and "Failsafe".
The kcm is for Plasma5 only. If you haven't upgraded yet, you can launch it manually via 'kcmshell5 kcm_sddm'
