 Switching to a locale other than English using the Locale preflet does not
 work. There are two cases.

 Case 1

 a. Open Locale preflet.[[BR]]
 b. Add locale other than English and set it to the top of the "Preferred
 languages" list.[[BR]]
 c. Close preflet.[[BR]]
 d. Open a localized app; you will see that it is still running in English
 instead of the preferred non-English locale.[[BR]]
 e. Upon re-opening the Locale preflet, one can see that the preferred
 language settings have been reverted to the default English only.

 Case 2

 a. Open Locale preflet.[[BR]]
 b. Add locale other than English.[[BR]]
 c. Remove English from preferred languages list.[[BR]]
 d. Close preflet.[[BR]]
 e. Preflet crashes upon exit (bt attached) and the changes do not take
 effect.[[BR]]
