    For 25 or so years I have used shortdate
    on my desktops like so

    Tue, 25-Dec-2013 (or similar)

    I don't give a rat's ass what 'standardised'
    formats may or may not appear under so many
    ridiculous little flag icons.

    Where do I set what "I" want the way I want?

    Disclaimer: I'm still using KDE4 (and I intend to stick with it for a
    while too).

    Normally, you would go into the System Settings (or whatever it's called
    these days) and choose your localization options ─ here in KDE4 it's
    called "Locale".

    Next, right-click on the clock applet and choose "digital clock
    settings" if you also want the date to appear in the chosen format in
    your panel clock.

    ey, how you doin' pilgrim?

    i'd like to stick to kde4 as well but
    every now and then i get into my

    *turn-blue-in-the-face-cussin'*

    fit. I 'even' call people names out loud :-)

    I'm trying to domesticate this p5 POS because
    using suse without it might soon be a thing of
    the past!

    The dialog you cite does let me set 'shortdate',
    problem is that what shortdate looks like is
    no longer a 'user-function' so to speak, at least
    not beyond clicking some flag. For 'detailed settings'
    you get some more flags bu no more textboxes.

    Ever feel like gasping for air in this fucking
    pigeonhole world?

    called "Locale".

    System Settings->Regional settings->Formats:

    Enable Detailed Settings.

    When finished, logout and login again.

    Next, right-click on the clock applet and choose "digital clock
    settings" if you also want the date to appear in the chosen format in
    your panel clock.
