does the user then do I just change the time format or any other
particular aspect of the locale?
These may help:

and read this thread:

you'll find good info from sktsee about 3/4 the way down the thread.
Yes, that is helpful, somewhat. Alas, it appears that there is no easy
GUI way to let a user choose these kind of options. Any plans in Ubuntu
to get this feature, if anybody knows?
Also, as I was reading the thread you mentioned, from a user interface
point of view (since Ubuntu is trying to be a very GUI friendly distro
and wants to present a polished interface to a potentially average Joe
user), seeing different formats of time in different applications
appears to show lack of polish. Just my 2 cents.
Note that I do realize that these options can be changed by some
commands on command line (perhaps by using sudo).
Regards.
