Odd? Why?

(I don't know if it's buggy. I didn't try to run it.)
The behaviour I expect is the following:
- the default configuration should set everything in agreement with
LANG (from the UI language to the paper size, dictionary, UI font, ...)
- if configuration files exist, keep them and start
For users working with only one language, it doesn't matter much. But
the reason for bug 168780 is that some people want to have different
language for the UI, the default document, currency, ...
And it's a pain to change everything through the GUI on every startup.
The Mandrake wrapper updates the default language for documents each
time, for example.
On the other hand, they seem to have good defaults (UI font for
example). So maybe the Mandrake wrapper can be adapted to create the
configuration files on the first startup.
