Hi all,

I'd rather say it's a gray and boring month :-(

I made use of the *.desktop files under KDEDIR/share/locale/l10n and the 
subdirectories there in almost exactly the same way as the personalizer 
dialog in the control center does. Please check if you have several "region" 
files there (e.g. *europe.desktop) and subdirectories like de, it .. with an 
"entry.desktop" in each. Maybe you should set KDEDIR to kde3 if you run a 
KDE2 desktop and just compile kvoc for KDE3? When I forget I get funny 
results.

For the same reason "Germany" is displayed and not "German" because those 
files contain only country names and not language names as far as I found 
out. To make the user notice I set the focus to this field after the 
selection. 

If someone knows a better solution that uses pre-installed data from KDE I'd 
like to know :-)

In kva_io.cpp line 170 change 

__from__

  else if (exit == 2) {
    return true;     // dont save but exit
  }

__to__

  else if (exit == KMessageBox::No) {
    return true;     // dont save but exit
  }


Did you select the "example files" entry from the menu? You can't save them 
as they are installed read-only. 

But apart from that it works on my side. Please give me step-by-step 
instruction if it still does not work for you.

I need even more of that :-)
