[Bug 34603] Clock can't display international date format

[Tero Karvinen]

Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34603

Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
Clock applet does not show international ISO-6801 date format, even
though EN_DK locale "English (Danish)" is enabled.

Instead, the clock still shows the US date "Sun Mar 12, 16:49". It
should show "2006-03-12 16:49".

Most users like to use English user interface, but not US units and
dates. Instead, most of the world uses the metric system (SI-system) and
will probably be adopting ISO-8601 dates (like "2006-03-12 16:39").

Suggestion: 
- make Clock (gnome-panel) respect EN_DK locale 
and
- add ISO-8601 format to Clock:Preferences (it already has 24h option for time)

I am using Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy with gnome-panel 2.12.1-0ubuntu. In gdm login, I chose Languages:English (Danish) as recommended in 
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tune.en.html#s-ISO-locale
~$ locale
LANG=en_DK.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_DK.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_DK.UTF-8"
LC_TIME=en_DK.utf8
LC_COLLATE="en_DK.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_DK.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_DK.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_DK.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_DK.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_DK.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_DK.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_DK.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_DK.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

ISO-8601 date format is the recommendation of ISO and W3C:
