Enabling VNC with foreign locales crashes installer

[laga]

In Alpha4, Ubiquity crashed on me. I set locale to German and enabled a VNC password.

This appears to possibly be caused by one of the classes that is inherited by the VNC xorg modifier. It uses kde-guidance. I'm not positive on this, but it appears it might be by looking up the backtrace.

Hi,

i tried to reset the locale to "C" as a workaround. However, I haven't been able to test this properly yet.. Here's the diff:

This fix should be in the archives by now - I was also told it was fixed by ubiquity upstream. Closing this now, please reopen if the problem persists.
