After much effort and web surfing I now realize that the entirety of
my problem is a problem with my QT locales.  When I try to start a
program like swriter from within KDE, I get the following outpt from
the commandline.

I18N: X Window System doesn't support locale "en_US.UTF-8"
I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale "en_US"
I18N: X Window System doesn't support locale "C"
Qt: Locales not supported on X server

At this point OOo is clearly trying to use QT.  I tried installing
EVERY english language pack I could find.  Then I installed some
spanish ones I'd been meaning to install anyway.  Then, for good
measure I reconfigured locales from the commandline.  Then I reset my
computer.  Lots of fun, no change in behavior.

I tried googling for QT locales, but haven't found anything useful, or
I looked right over it not realizing it was what I wanted.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions as to set my QT locales, that
would be great.  qtconfig does not offer a way to do this, I looked.
