I don't understand your reply.

In either case, I don't see it as an issue anymore: I patched the underlying Qt
code (qlocale.cpp, Gentoo) on my machines. The patch simply modifies
QLocale::dateFormat(FormatType)→QString and returns the format string I prefer
to use (such as "yyyy-MMM-dd"). I guess I could have also used LD_PRELOAD to
modify the behavior of function QLocale::dateFormat(FormatType), but that
wouldn't cover the case of compiler inlining the function (within qlocale.cpp,
or in case of -flto).
