What more do you want? Blood? Actually, I'd just like it to work. I've been using Redhat and Fedora since version Redhat 6.0. And I upgrade with almost every new release. In that time I've have to tell my computer I'm an A4 user. For example, I'm using Fedora 8 at the moment and yet again, I've had to inform a bunch of applications that I'm an A4 user.

If you made A4 the default, and then changed it for en_US and en_CA then what I'm asking for above would probably work.
