I tried to investigate this and here it is... It looks like this is not a bug, but hardcoded locale in kde code... "nor a bug, a feature !"
$ cat kdebase-3.5.4/kcontrol/locale/default/Makefile.am kcm_locale_data_DATA = entry.desktop kcm_locale_datadir = $(kde_locale)/en_US KDE seems to have done lots of improvement on kcontrol modules this summer, so 3.5.5 will by chance handle this correctly... Maybe, if possible, we will provide a patch for this if resolved in kde svn. -- Wrong language and country in kdeglobals https://launchpad.net/bugs/59334 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
