Hmm ... I can't find "Connection" or "failed" in the mandriva translation 
directories ... perhaps you could do the one-line search again but search for 
the string  «Σύνδεση απέτυχε» ? 
  
You could try again using   grep -iH instead of grep -il, this will show the 
file name and the matching line.  I had a quick look at /usr/bin/kdm, but the 
string must be in some library it is using,  No time right now, I'll look 
further. An idea is to look in /usr/share/locale/gr/LC_messages, 
using msgunfmt on the .mo files, that's a big job ... let's see if we can 
automate it. Oh, the power of the command line. 

Finally, we can always Use The Source :-)
