--- Comment #1 from Pedro V <voidpointertonull+bugskde...@gmail.com> ---
I don't even dare to try to reproduce it the problem, but the wanting English
but no US-specific silly baggage is a familiar problem, and I ended up with
/etc/default/locale containing:
```
#  File generated by update-locale
LANG=C.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="C.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="C.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="C.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="C.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="C.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="C.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="C.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C.UTF-8"
```

Not sure where else are locale options could be hiding, maybe there was
something user-specific I nuked trying to solve these kind of problems, but I
ended up with the locale command showing:
```
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=C.UTF-8
LC_TIME=C
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=C.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=C.UTF-8
LC_NAME=C.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=C.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=C.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=C
LC_IDENTIFICATION=C.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
```

This isn't really what we'd want, but as the Digital Clock residing on the Task
Manager can be set to use a date format, it ended up being good enough for me.
Lock screen clock still doesn't have the preferred ISO format and there are
other similar issues here and there, but that's what we get with silly locales.
I've also tried using de_DE.UTF-8 before, but then I got to enjoy German day
names too which wasn't exactly what I desired.

While it's definitely odd that you get this specific problem with Krusader, the
root of the issue is the spreading localization spaghetti which surely wasn't
this bad earlier, at least I used to have an older setup which was easier to
set to be English with non-US formats, but then last year as I made a fresh
setup with the most recent Kubuntu, I ended up with localization being forced
more on the user instead of just language with separate format preferences.
