But this only seems to work for your session.  When you lock your system 
or before you login, it will be the weekday/time format.

I have not found a way to change that.

Plus sometimes Gnome looses its place in reality and you may see the 
weekday/time back on your top panel.  To remind Gnome what its relaity 
is suppose to be, you can restart it with <alt-F2>r

At least this is what is happening on my system.  Rather a pain overall.
