I *suspect* that it's most likely that the locale variables are set for your shell sessions (e.g., when you run 'locale' from bash it outputs what you pasted) but not for kde apps. please do this: launch the kde "Run command" dialog (via Alt-F2) and run there: locale >/tmp/locale.kde and then send the output (which will be in the /tmp/locale.kde file).
<snip tips to set locales correctly> Hello,Locale return the same things using your trick above and from console (ctrl+alt+F1):
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8@euro LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8@euro" LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8@euro" LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8@euro" LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8@euro" LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8@euro" LC_MESSAGES=C LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8@euro" LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8@euro" LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8@euro" LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8@euro" LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8@euro" LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8@euro" LC_ALL=So the good news is that kde is using the correct locale. Switching to fr_FR@euro let kde apps know about accents but then they will stop handling utf-8 (which is not the point).
