locale settings

[Tim]

Is anyone else using Fedora in Australia and noticed that locale
settings aren't what they ought to be?

Specifically that the system locale, despite being set up during
post-installation, was on a US setting.  And that personal locales
inherit that, and each logon needs manually setting to Australian.   And
that applications that print need manually setting to A4, instead of
already being preset to A4 by the locale (or even not preselecting from
the printer settings).
