Now, where did all that en_US come from? I set the locale at Jerusalem,
and the US keyboard is not now even among the keyboard indicator
options.

The calendar is 24. The mail is am/pm. Of course Evolution is already
open, since I am reading your letter. I saved you letter in draft when I
closed all iterations of Evolution after running the line below, but I
seem unable to take up the writing below your quoted statement, so I'll
write here. Upon reopening Evolution, the calendar remains at 24 and the
mail at am/pm. No change is evident.

Thanks for the effort.
