OOo honours the user's locale, if you leave OOo at "default" locale, which
is the default setting.
IMO, it can not honour KDE's definition of locale, as it is not a kde
application. What would happen if the user then started gnome? It would
change behavior, and the rule in Linux is that applications should honour
the "LC_TIME" setting.
Rather, kde should set "LC_TIME" appropriately so that applications could
use it.
