Hello

I'm having a very weird problem with evolution...
Currently, I'm running 1.2, but it was there too on 1.0.8.  My system is
Mandrake 9.0.

My mail-list-display shows times in 12 hour format, where my locale is
set to use 24 hour.  All other apps (like sylpheed) detect this correct.
But here comes the weird part, All other users on the system have the
same locale settings (it is done via /etc/profile.d).  Evolution for
them shows the 24 hour format.

If I copy my evolution directory to another account, it shows 24 hour
format.  If I remove my home directory and replace it with an empty one,
the 12 hour setting remains.  It seems only linked to my userID.
Verifying with a working Id on my system, settings apart from UID seem
identical:

>id gvs <<-- has the problem
uid=1002(gvs) gid=1002(home)
groups=1002(home),80(cdwriter),1001(users),1004(cvs)

>id ness
uid=1003(ness) gid=1002(home)
groups=1002(home),80(cdwriter),1001(users),1004(cvs)

>locale (for both)
LANG=en_BE.ISO-8859-15
LC_CTYPE=en_US
LC_NUMERIC=en_US
LC_TIME=en_BE.ISO-8859-15
LC_COLLATE=en_US
LC_MONETARY=en_US
LC_MESSAGES=en_US
LC_PAPER="en_BE.ISO-8859-15"
LC_NAME="en_BE.ISO-8859-15"
LC_ADDRESS="en_BE.ISO-8859-15"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_BE.ISO-8859-15"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_BE.ISO-8859-15"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_BE.ISO-8859-15"
LC_ALL=

There are no specific profile settings for gvs, as I can rule out
diffences in the homedir.  The Mandrake 9 system is newly installed and
replaces my SuSE 8.0 with also had the same problem.

Some background: my userID's are obtained from a NIS server running
FreeBSD.  The homedirectories are also mounted from that system, with
the 'nolock' option to make evolution happy.

Help ;-)
