I can't see the euro symbol - the one displayed with Alt Gr + E - with any Kde
applications (tested with konsole, kwrite, kword) under RC1.
Instead is displayed a small circle with 4 little lines around - that is
said to be
the international symbol for money.

I have choosen France in my setup. Note that this install was done from hard
disk. Maybe this is the reason for the problem. Other than the missing packages
from the  #2 and #3 CD at end of the install there was no glitch.

Anyway, I tried to fix the problem using localedrake, but I noticed that
localedrake
set a .i18n file with every value as FR_fr; this is not working as it's
necessary
to have fr_FR.iso-8859-15 for the euro to be displayed. After changing the .i18n
by hand and restarting kde, everything is normal. I know that this value in .18n
comes from /etc/sysconfig/i18n, but I have failed to find from where this
file is coming.
Just after install were values corresponding to a standard Us setup in
.i18n, btw.

Using localedrake, choosing france-utf8 fixes the problem too, but it's really
not an obvious choice for people who don't any idea of what is utf8.

Note that every non-Kde app I tried displays the euro fine in every case :
Mozilla 
or gnome applications.

I can burn 3 CD and install *again* if this really matters.
