I have been trying for some time now to get information about changing 
the way my 9.04 shows dates. It seems to have the US system as the 
default, even though the location is set as Jerusalem. Can I use the 
date string command line to change the default to 24hr clock and DMY? 
Would that also show up in  Evolution and/or Thunderbird and Lightning 
or Sunbird? Nautilus list view seems already to display DMY.
