Wolfgang's /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.digitalclock/contents/ui/DigitalClock.qml edit solves the clock problem, but doing as you suggest fubars the date (little endian instead of iso).
Fubar? It's well beyond that, I think. With a region setting of English Canada, seconds show up here, and I can select ISO date format
I can find no way to do any such thing.
(and have done so). There seem to be some rather funky assumptions about "acceptable" formats when the region is set to the USA. There should not be any need to hack a script to be able to set one's system in some preferred way.
There are two regional settings for the USA: "United States - American English" and "UnitedStates"; do you get a little endian date with both of those? Note that setting the system to use ISO date is not in the list of regional settings; AFAICT it is not anywhere in the desktop configuration, nor even in YaST. In YaST/System/Environment/Language, you -can- set RC_LC_TIME to define the output format for date and time.
It's really hard to tell what can do what. Plasma on this installation at least is pretty close to useless. Clicking anywhere in digital clock settings locks up the UI, as you may be able to infer from the file listing in Konsole: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/KDE/clockSecondsTrashesSessionKF5.jpg I can get Konsole to focus and run commands, including to close the session, but little else once the clock settings have been touched, or maybe its systemsettings -> regional -> formats. I'm not sure which. Even Alt-F2 doesn't work. It shows the input box, but it won't accept input. Nothing on the panel reacts at all to any mouse click if those settings panels have been opened and clicked in. NAICT, the only way to have an 86400 second clock is with the settings you can see in this SS. Selecting other options forces half-day nonsense into the clock. Nothing ever enables an option to select iso format. Nothing en makes the date big endian. No option for selecting en_DK is discoverable. The only reason the clock is correct now is because of Wolfgang's suggestion to edit the broken .qml file hiding deep in /usr.
Perhaps you could try setting ISO dates in there. Still, no matter how the system is set up, one should still be able to select ISO date format in the clock applet settings.
I'm not going into yast to do what every competent DE should be able to do. How would I ever know if and when upstream ever actually fixed the current and longstanding insanity of such fundamental functionality? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
