Oh, I don't use Gnome (never have, except for about 10 minutes some 10 years ago or so :-) ).
However, I am surprised that Gnome doesn't have a readily configurable date format for use in your system. In Windows it is part of the Regional Settings where you select country, the time format, the date format (dd-mm-yy, mm-dd-yy, yyyy-mm-dd), and the money format.
In oS (11.x) - using KDE - it is in Kickoff/System Settings/Regional & Language.
*Surely* Gnome must have something similar?
Not that I know. It simply uses the environment defined for the shell; ie, the "locale". Just type "locale" in a terminal. But yes, it s weird that there is no graphical tool to set that up (by the user). But I hoped that thunderbird had something of their own, many programs that complex do. Mmm... Felix link is interesting. I don't have those variables, though. And anyway, it is taking the string from the system date format (locale). - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
