Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2012-01-06 19:41:00 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

When changing the locale to USA, the panel correctly (after a plasma restart) shows the time in 12-hour-format, i.e. 8:37 PM. The configuration module stays the same way and forces the user to input a 24-hour-format.
Although I am not a friend of the 12-hour-system, it is not the system’s choice to make which time format the user has to be used.
The above seems to be a common problem in ALL Linux distributions and desktop environments - Windows 2.0 made it right…

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have locale USA
2. Open the Time config module

Actual Results:  
It still prompts time input in 24-hour-format

Expected Results:  
It should prompt the time in 12-hour-format with a dropdown for AM/PM

It is hardcoded like this :

     timeEdit->setDisplayFormat("HH:mm:ss");
