Beryl-Settings Manger issues

Just got Arch installed with KDE and I have a couple of questions

Beryl-Manager and the window decorator run fine, but I can't get into the Settings-Manager, this is the error message I get:
(beryl-settings:6342): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/beryl-settings", line 35, in ?
    locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/locale.py", line 381, in setlocale
    return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

Also I was thinking about installing KDEmod, instead of KDE.  What are the benefits to running KDEmod over KDE?  If installing KDEmod isn't a good idea, how can I remove all the KDE packages I dont want? (Toys, games, edutainment)

Any help at all would be great

As root, uncomment the locales that you are using in /etc/locale.gen then run locale-gen

Re: Beryl-Settings Manger issues

i.e. if you are using US en use the example in the config file. See wiki.

Yep, that did it thanks

Do you know how I can uninstall the KDE packages I don't need?  (toys, endutainment)

Thanks

Re: Beryl-Settings Manger issues

Here, I assume you installed the official kde with : pacman -S kde.
If you don't use any toys, education apps:
pacman -R kdetoys kdeedu
Only kdebase and kdelibs (and their dependencies) are needed to get the KDE desktop. The other packages in the kde group only contain apps.

Alright thanks, now I was thinking about installing KDEmod...what are the advantages to that over just installing the normal KDE?
