So then, How do I change Gnome to use YYYY/MM/DD?
In Windows I always change to ISO standard, now that
I noticed that US is default that is bugging me.

Don't know about Gnome (isn't that the imp being advertised on tv for 
Travelocity says Tom, ducking under table), but Kmail has the ability to view 
the date in several formats including custom but KDE couldn't/wouldn't put 
that FEATURE in the globals.

Go figure.
