I don't know, but you can set your keyboard layout generally for X,
so you have this layout everywhere (e. g. when you're running
something different than KDE, as well as in xdm or kdm).

Just change your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to fit your needs, according
to this example:

	Section "InputDevice"
	        Identifier      "Keyboard0"
	        Driver          "kbd"
	        Option          "XkbModel"              "pc105"
	        Option          "XkbLayout"             "de"
	        Option          "AutoRepeat"            "250 30"
	EndSection
