Comment 2 for bug 171395

I disagree with this whole 'locale' approach, as it doesn't recognize individual users' needs. For example, I live in Canada; we're "officially" a metric country, but when it comes to certain industries, English units are the rule. I personally never use Metric units in my mechanical drawings, and only when required by a specific component in my printed circuit board designs. I'm quite happy to set up each individual app's defaults with regard to units, page size, time/date format, etc. An option to honour the system locale would be nice, but for God's sake give users the ability to configure their own defaults via an easily-accessible GUI if they so desire.
