clock capplet and nautilus date and time formats

[Peter Nugent <Peter Nugent Sun COM>]

Hi
I've noticed that neither the clock applet or nautilus take their date
and time formats from the underlying OS eventhough the do take the day
and month names from it . Is there a reason for this ? and are there any
plans to change this so that they do ?

Most apps seems to be doing their own thing regarding the date and time
formats which leads to an icconsistent end user experience. Other
desktops have a more cocsistent approach which measn that these things
can be made configurable through a single app.

thx
Peter
