I can see how this would be useful (indeed, KCMLocale does it), but the 
implementation would be a little difficult.

If the user selected a country, I could pop up a requester asking to select 
the appropriate language (for multiple-language countries). But if the user 
selected a language, I wouldn't be able to show the list of possible 
countries (KLocale doesn't have this option), leaving an inconsistent 
feature.

I'd also prefer not to have to throw up requesters in Kilt, as the aim is to 
be as unobtrusive and easily accessible as possible.

This feature sounds very much like KCMLocale, for which Kilt provides access 
via the 'Configure Country...' and 'Configure Language...' menu items. To add 
this to Kilt itself would defeat the purpose of having a separate i18n/l10n 
switching tool.

Thanks for the suggestions though, much appreciated. :)

Cheers,
Jay
