Comment:

 Easy fix:

 Add this line at the beginning of /usr/local/bin/dm:

    [ -f /etc/sysconfig/i18n ] && . /etc/sysconfig/i18n

 In /etc/inittab, change:

    x:5:once:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
 to
    x:5:once:/usr/local/bin/dm

 The resulting behavior is much more pleasant in the failing case, and a
 little faster in the working case (it can't be slower....).
