Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel
the Indicator Clock on my panel always shows the date in the following format: Day Month Date, Time (i.e., Mon Apr 4, 16:41). I have instituted the Great Britain locale (despite the fact that I live in the United States) via adding the following line to my /etc/default/locale: LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8" in order to force a system-wide setting of 24-hour time and a date format of Day Date Month Time (i.e., Mon 4 Apr 16:41). Following this change to en_GB, the time changes to 24 hour, but the date format displayed in my panel remains set as Day Month Date, Time (i.e., Mon Apr 4, 16:41) instead of switching to Day Date Month Time (i.e., Mon 4 Apr 16:41). Users should be able to specify the date format and time format of their choice for system-wide display. Even though I live in the United States, I should be able to have 24-hour time and a date format of Mon 4 Apr 16:41 displayed system-wide.
