SUMMARY
A user can choose to prefer SI unit prefixes for their binary numbers by adding
the following to ~/.config/kdeglobals:

    [Locale]
    BinaryUnitDialect=2

but FileLight does not respect this choice. Instead it continues to use IEC
units.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add the aforementioned lines to the kdeglobals file
2. Open filelight
3. Start scanning a folder

OBSERVED RESULT
Size is given like "19.1 MiB"

EXPECTED RESULT
Size is given like "20.1 MB" (it's a 20,056,162 byte file)
