The Language tab of the International panel in System Preferences should
determine the default Locale, via system properties whose values depend on
the International pane's settings.
Specifically, the first language in the Languages list determines the
primary Locale language. The Formats tab's Region chooser determines the
secondary country part of the Locale. However, there are not Locale
objects for every possible combination of language and country. For
example, there are en_US and en_GB variants, but no es_US (Spanish spoken
in the US).
The default Locale object itself is determined by these system properties
in 1.4:
user.country
user.language
user.variant
I suggest writing a small Java app that list's the value of those
properties, then change your settings in System Preferences, rerun the
program, and observe any changes.
Also, there may not be a Locale class that corresponds to the property
values. If that happens, a fallback Locale will be chosen. See the source
of Locale.java for the algorithm that selects the default Locale.

That may explain what you're seeing. Try changing the System Preferences
setting, rerunning your test program, and observing any change in the
properties.

Run the test program and see what the property values are on his machine.
