Localization
My mother tongue is Croatian, so I wanted to set a Croatian keyboard layout. I used KDE Control Center:

I got my layout. For now.
Next time I restarted and login (as root again) I noticed I lost my keyboard layout. So I did it again. Set it up and rebooted computer. And lost it again.
I tried to open terminal (aterm) and entered:
root@t-notebook:/#setxkbmap hr
which also didn't help. Time to get a little dirty handed.
I found /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edited it.
Click on the System icon on desktop to open file manager (Konqueror), click on the root folder, then /etc directory and than X11 directory.
Right click on the xorg.conf and choose open with --> Kwrite.
Find this section below, remove the comment (#) from line:
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
and change layout "de" for the one that suits you. This is what mine looks like.
Option "XkbLayout" "hr"
Check /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols or Internet for list of available layouts:
# **********************************************************************
# Core keyboard's InputDevice section
# **********************************************************************
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "kbd"
# For most OSs the protocol can be omitted (it defaults to "Standard").
# When using XQUEUE (only for SVR3 and SVR4, but not Solaris),
# uncomment the following line.
# Option "Protocol" "Xqueue"
# Set the keyboard auto repeat parameters. Not all platforms implement
# this.
# Option "AutoRepeat" "500 5"
# Specifiy which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1)).
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a European
# keyboard, you will probably want to use one of:
#
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
#
# If you have a Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# If you have a US "windows" keyboard you will want:
#
# Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#
Option "XkbLayout" "hr"
#
# or:
#
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
#
# These are the default XKB settings for X.Org
#
# Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
# Option "XkbModel" "pc101"
# Option "XkbLayout" "us"
# Option "XkbVariant" ""
# Option "XkbOptions" ""
#
EndSection
After reboot my keyboard layout settings were OK.
