OK, let's try this. US is the locale selected at first in DrakX; this makes sense because statistically out of all the possible *single locales* more users will probably choose US than anywhere else (though this is just a guess, does this match up with actual statistics?) However, more Mandrake users by far will come from countries which use SENSIBLE, STANDARD paper sizes (;>), since pretty much everywhere but America uses the A-, B- etc size system, so it makes sense for A4 to be the default paper size for printing. It's counter-intuitive, but it actually makes sense. -- adamw
