That's nice, I assume the list are from locale and not the content of the 
file. Anyway i see the difference
 
My Locale returns

LANG=POSIX
LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO-8859-1
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

I missing the LANGUAGE, and in my case all are quoted.
KDE say Language=English  'en_US' and Country='Netherlands 'NL'
SuSE say Language is English (USA) equals to 'en_US '?? look LC_CTYPE ??
and nothing about Country.

POSIX is from install time, I never change one of these settings in any of the 
config/setup/profile or what ever they are named by hand.

Any way i don't play with them and have accepted as is because it's unclear 
what this variable mean and are used for.
In my case there is also without quotes

RC_LC_COLLATE=POSIX
RC_LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-1
GTK_RC_FILES and GTK2_RC_FILES with path lists to find other config settings.

To be exact this is in a terminal under KDE

When I use a Linux console with alt-ctrl-2 the en_GB.ISO are changed to en_US.
Somewhere the startup Xserver/KDE combination change this settings.
I can't find where at the moment. It's not in the ().profile files as far I 
found.
