This is not a pygtk bug, and most likely won't be fixed in
gnome-libs-1.x. The offending lines of code are in
gnome-libs/libgnomeui/gnome-dateedit.c:
/* FIXME: internationalize this - strftime()*/
g_snprintf (buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%d/%d/%d", month + 1, day,
year);
In the 2.0 tree, it uses the strftime "%x" format string, so it
internationalises correctly (ie. doesn't use silly date order in en_AU).
