[Bug 1423208] [NEW] Doesn't set up the locale properly

[Uqbar]

Public bug reported:

In /etc/default/locale I have this line
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
In ~/.bashrc I have this line:
export LC_COLLATE="C"
In the System Settings-->Locale-->Country/Region & Language I have the following:
Country: Italy
Languages: American English, Italian (in this order)
Numbers: "." for thousands and "," for decimals
Money: EURO
Calendar: Gregorian
Date and Time: HH:MM:SS
Other: Page size: A4; Measurement system: metric; Byte size: IEC units.

In a console (no X and thus no KDE) I have these variables set:
LANG='en_US.UTF-8'
LC_COLLATE='C'
all other locale related variables are unset. This is the expected behavior.

In Konsole (KDE) I have these variables:

LANG='en_IT.UTF-8'
LANGUAGE='en:it:en'
LC_NUMERIC='en_IT.UTF-8'
LC_COLLATE='C'
LC_TIME='en_IT.UTF-8'
LC_MONETARY='en_IT.UTF-8'
LC_PAPER='en_IT.UTF-8'
LC_NAME='en_IT.UTF-8'
LC_ADDRESS='en_IT.UTF-8'
LC_TELEPHONE='en_IT.UTF-8'
LC_MEASUREMENT='en_IT.UTF-8'
LC_IDENTIFICATION='en_IT.UTF-8'

which clearly show an improperly set up locale.
For example within Konsole terminal I cannot input accented vowels from the Italian keyboard.
While I can do it from the non-KDE console.
