Bug#361830: kde doesn't set $LANG

[Matthias Heinz <m.heinz@gmx.net>]

Package: kde
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n


Hi,

i don't know which package causes this problem but i know i'm not the
only one with it.

I'm using a german locale for KDE and everything is in german, every KDE
application. But if I start a non-kde program from kmenu  it's in english (the LANG
variable is not set).
Programs that're linked in .kde/autostart/ runs with the default locale
(english...), too.

I couldn't find out what's causing this but setting the LANG variable in
the .profile didn't help either.

This problem appeared with KDE 3.5.2-1.


Regards,
Matthias
