keymap: what's "the list" you are refering to?
you can change the keymap in several ways.
- in vl, there's a tool called vasm (the administration tool) where there should be a keymap selection. change that.
- using /etc/X11/xorg.conf (the 100%-way):
1. terminal, log in as root
2. "mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
3. in one of the InputDevice sections, there you shuld find
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "en"

change it to
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"

lines that start with # are commented out.
4. restart X (ctrl+alt+backspace) [or, to be 100% sure, shutdown and reboot)

xfce has an option to always remember you last settings, it's selectable shortly before you log out ("save session" or something).
