Hi,

I am currently using Woody and still stumble across KDE's handling of the 
LANG variable. The correct thing would be (in Germany)
        [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or even
        [EMAIL PROTECTED]
because ISO-8859-15 in implizit in that locale. But the EuroSign does not 
work with this, only with
        [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(at least the difference "ISO-8859-15" to "ISO8859-15" seems to be fixed 
somewhen).
But this still does not satisfy me, because this really goes against 
setlocale(3):
       A locale name is typically of  the  form  language[_terri�
       [EMAIL PROTECTED],  where  language is an ISO 639
       language code, territory is an ISO 3166 country code,  and
       codeset  is  a  character  set or encoding identifier like
       ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8.

But that also seems to imply that @euro should only be a modifier to de_DE, 
not a locale on its own. But this is the case in Debian:
$ ls /usr/lib/locale
de_DE  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  de_DE.utft  en_US

So I have three questions:
1. Is this a KDE2.2.2 bug or a locales bug?
2. If it is a KDE2.2.2 bug, it is fixed in KDE3?
3. Did I misunderstood something?

Thanks a lot

Hendrik Sattler
