You are not the first to report a locale problem when running gnmeric in
the KDE desktop. Please, verify the locale passed to gnumeric with the
getenv sheet function:

Could you please answer this question! The locale you see in a terminal
window might differ from that seen by gnumeric!

If anyone gets to the bottom of this I'd be interested to hear
what's going on. I've had users of my program, gretl, complain
that they're not getting the locale decimal point under Kubuntu
(where that's ',').
I can give a little more detail. If I configure a cell to show
European date notation, it accepts European date notation. But if I
confiigure it to have YYYY-MM-DD, it does not. My locale settings are
the same as under Fedora Core 4, my gnumeric version is probably newer
(I don't have access to the old gnumeric version right now). The same
is true for KDE. I didn't have the problem before.
Some more info:

With this locale settings for LC_TIME, gnumeric still says 'May'
rather than 'Mei' as well. Other programs (ls, date) have LC_TIME
correctly. Perhaps the problem comes from running a gnome program in
KDE on kubuntu...
