I am getting tired of Gnome as they tend to think that if you want swedish regional option you better use the whole system in swedish.
I don't want that! (Why? Because it is almost always easier to find support and solutions if you use names in a language that as many as possible understands and use!)
I want the operating system language to be my preferred (english) and all regional settings like date- and time format, paper sizes, currency... to be swedish.
I know how I can set these options in /etc/environment. But that is not a solution in the long run. At least not user friendly or support friendly.
Does anyone know of a Desktop Environment that lets you set these things as expected? Windows and OS X can do this but that's no options! :-) KDE could do this last time I checked, but I'm not a real fan of KDE.
How about XFCE, LXDE, Enlightenment...? Does someone know if these options are handled differently in other distributions? ...or do they tend to follow the upstream?
