KMyMoney doesn't start due to missing decimal symbol in KDE settings

[Ricardo Graça]

After a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 I installed KMyMoney. It installed without any errors. When I click on the launcher icon I get a message saying something like "The monetary decimal separator symbol isn't correctly defined in KDE System Settings, in the Regional Settings. Configure it with a reasonable value and restart KMyMoney." This is a rough translation of the message I see in portuguese which is the language I have set in this installation. To make matters worse, systemsettings isn't even installed. After setting the decimal separator setting to a comma (the default in Portugal) in systemsettings everything works fine. I've attached a screenshot of the regional settings panel right after installing systemsettings where it's visible that the decimal separator isn't set.
This bug has actually been present since at least 11.04.

Steps to reproduce:
1) In a system with Portuguese locale (possibly others will exhibit the same problem) install KMYMoney without having installed anything from KDE previously (or at least without having systemsettings installed)
2) Run KMyMoney

Expected results:
KMyMoney runs fine

Actual results:
KMYMoney doesn't start and a dialog box with an error message is shown to the user instead

I confirm this bug. It also affects kubuntu, not only 14.10 but also previous releases.
