Here's a new one, I haven't yet entirely figured out with Google ...

What places do I need to modify to rid myself of all the US-isms?

I've changed the Region and Keyboard layout to British in KDE, and I also worked out that I needed to add a specific GB localisation package for Iceweasel.

So I guess you did:

$ sudo apt-get install kde-i18n-engb

?

What other places exist for setting the localisation? Are there any other applications which require additional GB localisation packages?

I installed the localization-config tool after reading about it online, but if I run "update-locale-config -l" there doesn't seem to be a mention of GB English ...

Some other things I usually try to remember to do are:

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

and add en_GB_UTF-8 (and sometimes remove the other ones).

And also

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data

select, "choose keymap from archlist" and then select the obvious choices.

Though you may have done this when you installed.

And maybe:

$ sudo apt-get install ibritish myspell-en-gb
