configuring the date format of kicker clock?

Hi all,

my locale is german, therefore the default date format is dd.mm.yyyy, but I like the japanese/ISO format yyyy-mm-dd much better.

Is there any way to configure the clock of the kicker panel to display the date in ISO format and leave the rest in german? In any KDE version up to now, 2007-02-19?

If anyone knows that it is not possible (without hacking the KDE sources and recompiling KDE), please tell me, then I know that I don't need to spend time on searching for a solution.

TIA

I guess the clock looks at the settings for your locale, wich you can edit in kcontrol.

Thanks a lot, it worked.
Somehow I overlooked it: The sub-menue with the flag contains a tab "Time & Date" or similar where I can specify the "short date format" to be "YYYY-MM-DD" (<- translated). The Kicker-clock accepts the change only after a restart of KDE but then I have what I want ^-^

Cheers
