--- Comment #220 from Kevin Kofler <kevin.kof...@chello.at> ---
One issue is that dropping a locale file into a folder for glibc will not be
sufficient to fix it, because Qt does not actually use POSIX locales
internally, but ICU locales, and has a hardcoded mapping from POSIX to ICU
locales. So, for a custom glibc locale to work, Qt would need to be changed to
use the POSIX APIs instead of ICU ones, and that would likely mean that POSIX,
or at least glibc's implementation of it, would have to grow some additional
locale APIs that Qt needs. (Last I checked, the maintainers of the Qt locale
codes claimed that the POSIX/glibc locale APIs are not sufficient for their
needs.)

I still think that, as I had written in comment #6, KDE should just go back to
using a KDE-specific locale and formatting implementation and bypassing the
inferior Qt, POSIX, and ICU ones.
