Hi Marge. That's why I said I didn't know where it's configured in MeeGo.
But looking at this problem from the Qt point of view, the only way today to
change the locale is to change the environment variables, which means:
1) apps must be restarted for the change to take effect
2) you can only select one of the pre-defined locales, provided by glibc
(this means you cannot customise how the system presents times and dates)
For Qt to change this behaviour, we need a standard to follow. It can either
be:
A) set LANG to a file name, so we'll implement:
- parsing of locale files
- update when file is modified
This requires no communication with XDG.
B) agree on a Linux-wide way of setting the locale, by way of XDG, so we don't
have to implement this two or three times (KDE, GNOME, MeeGo).
