Thanks a bunch for your valuable comments.

Maybe that's the reason why I'm fairly comfortable with the code. ;-)

You have made great contributions, AFAICT.

That was especially clarifying to me.

I can see that LANG and LANGUAGE have been written to
/etc/default/locale and /etc/environment also for KDE users. I'm
suggesting that also LC_MESSAGES is written to those files, and so far I
have assumed that that change would at least not be a problem for KDE.
Are you able to tell whether my assumption is correct?

Well, that's not exactly what I'm doing. Don't consider myself qualified
for such a commitment. So far my goal has been to help solve the issues
in this bug report.

I'd be happy to keep contributing as a member of some formal or informal
l-s team, though. Your participation in such a team on a volunteer, less
demanding basis would be much appreciated.

Best regards,

Gunnar
