[Shotwell] date format string on adjust date/time dialog

Hi,

I have a new installation of Ubuntu 10.10, running the version of Shotwell 
that came with it (0.7.2).  On the Photos -> Adjust Date and Time dialog, 
the Original: value is displayed as e.g. "25/m/2010, 05:02:50 PM".  It looks 
like the date is being formatted with a template string of "dd/m/yyyy" when 
it needs "dd/MM/yyyy", but where does it get that string from?

Does Shotwell have its own settings anywhere, or does it get it from the 
system/gnome?  i.e. is this a bug in Shotwell or a more general problem in 
Gnome and/or Ubuntu?  And if the latter, where should I look to fix it - the 
only LC_* variable that is set is LC_CTYPE=C, and in System -> 
Administration -> Language Support I don't see any actual format strings, 
it's just set to use "the usual format for: English (United Kingdom)".


Andy
