Absolutely! What I was trying to say before is that I don't know how locales are set. I don't think SystemPreferences has a pane for locale, though, does it? That leads me to the other part of my question, which default sets this?

well, let's assert which preference to write and we can write a new Module!

Also, can we confirm first that the Time Zone Panel is writing the correct thing? @"Local Time Zone" ?
Just to be sure that there is no bug and we are speaking of a new "feature"

I think it is not totally easy, because it the timezone (and other locales) will be specific to GS apps.
I suppose we need settings for:
1) language (which we already support, we need the PrefPane for it)
2) date and time formats
3) numbers
4) currency
5) measurement units

do we have settings for any of those, support at all? would it make any effects on apps?
Before working on a Panel we need to assess what we already support through existing preference in the global domain.

Often you choose a "cluster" of settings, e.g. you say "Italy" or "UK" or "US" and set all those above, this is I guess why Edwin thought it was or could be combined with the Time Zone.
