After having it for the 5th time ... (KDE 2.0.0, KDE 2.0.1, KDE 2.1Beta ...)

System default locale is set to Russian (LC_*, LANG == ru, LANGUAGE=ru:de:en).
New user starts KDE for the first time (~/.kde does not exist).

What happens, is:

- some messages (initial greeting, menus) come up in Russian
- BUT looking in KDE config, country/language are set to "C", charset is
"ASCII"
- which means, all Russian messages are displayed as "???????"

Why, WHY does not KDE takes default settings from environment variables? And
if it ignores them - why, WHY does it try to display some mesages - what is
important, menus - in Russian with charset set to ASCII?

BTW after updating to KDE from Cooker, I've got two Trash's - one in English
and on in Russian. The Russian one can be deleted; the English one not.
