Title:
  Clock can't display international date format

Status in Desktop panel for GNOME:
  Incomplete
Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Clock applet does not show international ISO-6801 date format, even
  though EN_DK locale "English (Danish)" is enabled.

  Instead, the clock still shows the US date "Sun Mar 12, 16:49". It
  should show "2006-03-12 16:49".

  Most users like to use English user interface, but not US units and
  dates. Instead, most of the world uses the metric system (SI-system)
  and will probably be adopting ISO-8601 dates (like "2006-03-12
  16:39").

  Suggestion: 
  - make Clock (gnome-panel) respect EN_DK locale 
  and
  - add ISO-8601 format to Clock:Preferences (it already has 24h option for time)

  I am using Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy with gnome-panel 2.12.1-0ubuntu. In gdm login, I chose Languages:English (Danish) as recommended in 
  http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tune.en.html#s-ISO-locale
  ~$ locale
  LANG=en_DK.UTF-8
  LC_CTYPE="en_DK.UTF-8"
  LC_NUMERIC="en_DK.UTF-8"
  LC_TIME=en_DK.utf8
  LC_COLLATE="en_DK.UTF-8"
  LC_MONETARY="en_DK.UTF-8"
  LC_MESSAGES="en_DK.UTF-8"
  LC_PAPER="en_DK.UTF-8"
  LC_NAME="en_DK.UTF-8"
  LC_ADDRESS="en_DK.UTF-8"
  LC_TELEPHONE="en_DK.UTF-8"
  LC_MEASUREMENT="en_DK.UTF-8"
  LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_DK.UTF-8"
  LC_ALL=

  ISO-8601 date format is the recommendation of ISO and W3C:
