LC_TIME environment variable is ignored for date format

[hsoft]

from email:

I tried to change linux system settings to LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8, which should change default date format to YYYY-MM-DD. It works in many applications, but moneyGuru is still showing MM/DD/YY.

I tried setting the LC_TIME variable to "en_DK.UTF-8" and start moneyGuru, and sure enough, the date format didn't change. A also tried to set the date format (In the "Languages" config panel in ubuntu) to "English (Denmark)" and the date format didn't change either.

Funnily enough, I also tried a date cell in OOO's Calc and it didn't follow the locale either. However, Ubuntu's filebrowser as well as the built-in photo viewer do follow the locale.

After investigation, it seems that the cause of this would be a QLocale problem with the en_DK locale. It just doesn't recognize it. QLocale.countriesForLanguage(QLocale.English) doesn't list Denmark.

Rather than trying to fight with locale, it would be better to simply add a preference for date formats.
