Bug Description

Binary package hint: language-selector

This bug (?) is encountered in Kubuntu Lucid Lynx Netbook Remix Beta 1: It is impossible to set/change system language via qt-language selector. When attempting to change/set system language in kubuntu, qt-language-selector gives the following error and does nothing instead:

file "usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/LanguageSelector/qt/QtLanguageSelector.py", line 259, in onSystemPushButtonOk:
self.SetSystemDefaultLanguage(code)

AttributeError: 'QtLanguageSelector' object has no attribute 'setSystemDefaultLanguage'

Jonathan, it would have been nice if you would have either merged my branch back into the trunk and uploaded the whole bunch of fixes, or would have contacted me first.

I'm not so sure that
self.writeLanguageSettings(sysLanguage=code, sysLang=code)

should have sysLanguage set, let alone to the locale code. The LANGUAGE variable has a different syntax than LANG.
And the LANGUAGE manipulation happens within KDE. So, I'm not sure if this will work fine or if this will conflict.

This commit needs some testing!
