Bug Description
In the new appointment dialog, the dates are in US (mm/dd/yyyy) format. For us Europeans this is quite confusing, since we are used to dd/mm/yyyy (or yyyy-mm-dd). Linux application generally are quite regionally sensitive and adaptable and I suspect this one is no exception, but I can't find any way to change the date format.
Is there a way to do it that I have missed?

In evolution 2.21.92 on Hardy (2.21.92-0ubuntu1) the dates are not consistently displayed in the correct order according to the locale of the system. I.e. with GB locale, in the widget where the information can be edited, the date is in the right order (DD/MM/YYYY), but in the one day view, when the cursor is hovering over a meeting, the tooltip-like popup shows the date in US order (MM/DD/YYYY).
