[Discuss] New Kubuntu Install

[Steve Nelson]

Hi again Murray,

Okay I went looking and found the thread that fixed this problem for me with 
my Kubuntu install.

Go here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/135084

Scroll down to where they discuss this problem from another Canadian user and 
the fix is as follows:

"	I solved it nicely by:		"
"	-click K-menu, System Settings	"	
"	-click Regional and Language.	"
"	-click SelectSystemLanguage button	"
"	-change from "English (Canada)" to "English (United States of America)"
"	-click Set System Language	"
"	-Log Out	"
"	-(I also restarted the x-server, thought I do not know if that is necessary)	
"	It should be fixed now.	"

Let me know if that helps you
Steve
