Call for localization testing

[Andreas Wenning]

Hi

I wasn't that satisfied with the patch; it had some further cases where it 
wouldn't work. LANG=C wasn't treated correctly among others. Furthermore I 
wanted to get rid of some code-duplication.

So patch is fixed up and pushed to bzr as well as uploaded to kubuntu-
experimental. The patch is now at the state where I personally believe in it! 
Please everyone, give it a test; install the package create a new user and 
test that it works.

Cheers,
Andreas
