Hm... why are you so sure?

I hope we agree that the language start-up dialog must die. I mean, it 
is redundant and absurd. I think my patch does what's expected: It 
starts the application first time in the default locale and still 
allows the user to explicitely select another language in the 
Preferences menu, which will still preserve until it's changed again.

I don't understand why you want to introduce just another option to 
the languages menu. The language is a per-user setting. How often do 
users (a) change application languages to something different than 
their locale and (b) change their locale?

Cheers,
