Wouldn't some kind of caching (per-app) those values be possible ?
After all, in Windows, while AppLocale didn't cover all the cases, it did
suffice quite often.
I'm not saying it would be easy, cause (AFAIU) it would involve treating
certain regkeys differently than the rest, but that doesn't have to mean it's
impossible.

...and as I've said back in that bug, not only would that require something
like icu, but would be somewhat over my programming skills: I suspect a
significant performance hit, which I don't expect to be able to compensate for
and am not sure of the proper place for checking the locale value (most likely
it would involve caching the startup value).
