Version:            (using KDE 4.0.4)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

Medium: openSUSE 11 KDE4-Live-Install RC1 (VirtualBox 1.6)

I noticed that even if the user selects a timezone within the USA, the time
format is still in 24hour mode.  If a user selects USA, it should change the
time display mode to the preferred mode, 12-hour.  Most likely residents of the US will be using a 12-hour time format.

Hello,

I disagree, this should be set according to the locale. I happen to live in the US currently and my locale is not the US one. The TZ and the locale are completely different things.

Thanks.

Yup. And it is indeed set properly if you choose a US locale.
