Not exactly. In KDE3, we had the policy that KDE uses its own language and 
country settings independent of classical Unix/Linux features or libraries in 
that domain. 

So if that would have been consider to be such a serious bug, it should have 
been fixed for KDE 3.5. However now we are at KDE 3.5.5.

As for KDE4, as we have in full development and as we try to be more 
integrated in the normal I18N of glibc and Gettext, it would be another 
matter.

Of course you are more than welcomed to fix the settings for Turkey, including 
in KDE 3.5.x.

Ah, sorry, despite that I live in Berlin, I do neither speak nor read Turkish,
