Call for localization testing

[Andreas Wenning]

Hey apachelogger!

The proposed startkde didn't work in the case where $LANG was actually set.

Furthermore; regarding getting it to work the first time the user logs in. The 
trick is to move the change of kdeglobals up in startkde, and add the Country 
value to the values handled by kstartupconfig.

I've committed an updated patch with both things fixed to bzr, and uploaded a 
new version to kubuntu-experimental; please test!

Cheers,
Andreas
