 This works as [http://docs.python.org/library/locale.html#background-
 details-hints-tips-and-caveats designed] (by
 [http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/setlocale.html
 POSIX]): all programs start in the C locale and need to call
 {{{setlocale()}}} first for any locale environment variable to take
 effect.
 The [http://docs.python.org/library/locale.html#locale.setlocale
 recommended way] to do that is to set LC_ALL to the empty string:

 {{{
     locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
 }}}

 I would expect {{{sugar.activity.main}}} to do that for all activities
 that use our framework.
