Thanks.  :-)

For one, the RTL under Linux sets no localization. Even the date
format is hard-coded. :-(

I wouldn't put much faith in the widgetsets either. I use Ubuntu with
the standard Gnome desktop. At installation I chose English-South
Africa, which the LANG shows (en_ZA.UTF-8). Yet in various Gnome
applications like File Dialogs, Thunderbird Email Client etc the date
formats all vary. Go figure!  :-)    *unix based OS's still seem to
have a loooooong way to go in getting some consistency between
applications.
