Found a bug:
The startkde script (kdebase-2.1.1-13mdk) extracts the locale settings
from the LANG environment variable, when it should (AFAICT) use the
LANGUAGE environment variable. LANG contains only the language code (e.g.
"en"), but not the country code ("GB" in "en_GB"). LANGUAGE contains
both. startkde incorrectly uses LANG and so never picks up a country
code.
