Default paper size and locale

 

Hi,

At least on Linux, and probably on other platforms, the system locale
specifies the standard local paper size. Can anybody explain to me,
then, why sch_screen.cpp:98 hard codes this to A4? KiCad is a localized
application, surely the developer who daydreamed of the entire world
using A4 by default was aware of this fact when they typed
m_paper(wxT("A4")) into the default constructor.

A slightly less interesting question is why this appears not to be
something the user can configure.
