SUMMARY
The changes for Bug 420928 introduced LC_PAGE into the System Settings:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/commit/73bfdcff3d7d16e648aaf9ea7630a3967376412e
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/commit/c7c2a3a85e5b7f74dcb2eadc35defe9e4b55c737
* they talk about paper size, not page size
* seem to read from LC_PAPER environment variable? (maybe I didn't understand
the code correctly)
* write LC_PAGE to ./config/plasma-localerc instead of LC_PAPER
When I login to the desktop, open a console and execute "locale" I get LC_PAPER
set to the default specified by LANG, instead of the KDE setting.
System Settings should either write LC_PAPER or write LC_PAPER & LC_PAGE into
the configuration file. But as far as I can tell LC_PAGE is *not* an official
locale category and should be dropped.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open System Settings
2. select a paper size different from the locale default (I selected "Suomi",
i.e. paper size from finnish locale)
3. log out and in again
4. open konsole
5. run "locale" command
