[upstream] Would be nice if OOo honored KDE Date Format

Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu is a lie from `cat /etc/lsb-release`, it's Kubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=7.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=gutsy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 7.10"
on AMD64, using OO Writer Fax Template wizard, the created template
uses the default locale date format YY/MM/DD rather than the KDE-wide
system date format of YYYY-MM-DD. I can find NO date format options
anywhere in OO Writer.

Changing the locale for the user/system is the proper way to change that for applications in general, it seems KDE decided to NIH that feature. At most this is a wishlist bug, unless I am misunderstanding something about this bug.

Thanks,

Chris

See this upstream KDE bug that should take care of this issue:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197727

Well, it will take care of most of this issue, but not all. See this:

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.
