Review request for Plasma and John Layt.


Bugs: 331930
    https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331930


Repository: plasma-desktop


Description
-------

The current "Locale" KCM is almost entirely broken. The way forward is to split it into localization options (this, Formats), and translaticons. This patch implements a new Formats KCM which writes out an environment suitable for QLocale to pick it up.

It's a rewrite of the current KCM, since:
- everything under the hood is different (KLocale is gone, QLocale takes over)
- everything above the hood is different, in QLocale, everything is deduced from the country / region

Now this includes feature regressions compared to the old KCM, but not all of these features can be done at all on top of QLocale right now, so we have to set up what we can.

This KCM caches the settings in a config file, but most importantly, it writes out a script with export instructions, which can be picked up by startkde. This is all done according to John's suggestions, and I have a patch for startkde to pick up the settings here. It all works fine (on my machine).

Many more details about the implementation can be found in the plasma-devel thead "Locale settings in Plasma Next", started by John on February, 23rd 2014.
