The startkde should be improved so: - if there is no existing user configuration yet - and if localedrake is available - then run localedrake with the appropriate command line switches so it creates a good default config for KDE for the current locale. > I repeat - please, either revert this change or fix KDE to *really* use > its own language settings (even if they are just defaults). That is not enough. There is also the problem of using appropriate fonts. If nothing is specified KDE will take more or less the first fonts it found, and often they won't be appropriate... > It means > that KDE comes up in English by default which is still worse as it was > before but leaves user with usable GUI. Your problem is that the kde configuration is now done by localedrake, and that it hasn't been executed after the KDE isntallation; the solution is to add a small test to startkde so it transparently calls lcoaledrake (in non interactive mdoe, to create the config files) if startkde detects it is the first use of KDE (eg: there is no config file at all yet). > > -andrej -- Ki �a vos v�ye b�n, Pablo Saratxaga http://www.srtxg.easynet.be/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0x8F0E4975
