Go to Sytem Settings -> Regional Settings -> Formats. 2. Set the region to "en_US.UTF-8". 3. Reboot the computer. 4. Go back to the same place in the settings, but this time set the time format to something non-default, such as "en_DE.UTF-8". 5. Reboot the computer. 6. Use random non-KDE applications and see what they have to say. For example, try using R (in debian, this is package "r-base"). OBSERVED RESULT R says: During startup - Warning message: Setting LC_TIME failed, using "C" EXPECTED RESULT Programs should not complain about format settings.
