    Description

      On X11, The following priorities are recommended (see sources below) when trying to retrieve the system's locale environment variables:

      1. LC_ALL
      2. Other LC_* variables (LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES etc.)
      3. LANG

      However, of the other LC_* variables, Qt only considers LC_NUMERIC. Qt should consider other LC_* variables as well.
