If you do "dpkg-reconfigure locales" you can set "en_US" as the system-
wide default. You can also put "LC_ALL=en_US" into /etc/environment
yourself. Each individual user can put their settings into his/her
.bashrc or .bash_aliases ("export LC_ALL=en_US"). The graphical
environments all handle it slightly differently; in KDE, for example,
you can put an executable script into the ~/.kde/env directory to set
the defaults for all applications which you don't start from a terminal
window.
