Does TDE XDG environment need to set LC_* variables?

All,

Upon k3b start, the only error received during startup check was:

<quote> System locale charset is ANSI_X3.4-1968 Your system's locale charset (i.e. the charset used to encode filenames) is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968. It is highly unlikely that this has been done intentionally. Most likely the locale is not set at all. An invalid setting will result in problems when creating data projects. Solution: To properly set the locale charset make sure the LC_* environment variables are set. Normally the distribution setup tools take care of this. </quote>

I know about a year ago, there was considerable discussion about where these variables should be set. Looking, it seems that some distros take care of this with XDG config which can be set separately between gnome XDG and kde XDG. Does TDE need to look at setting these? I don't know the answer. I do know SuSE sets them and Arch doesn't. So there is a variation between the way this is handled distro to distro. May not be a bad thing to do in the TDE config if these setting matter.
