    With LANG=fr and LC_ALL=fr, I was able to set the
    date to "%d %b %Y" and everything appeared to work just
    fine. How can I reproduce this bug?

    I agree with you but I try to use a date format such as "%d.%m.%Y" it's always invalid.
    Why ?

    At my home desktop, i use this format, and it's always valid. Which distribution do you use ?, which export variable is defined. Send me directly a mail if you want.

    I'm using a Slackware 7.0 distribution. I'll send you all my exported variables at the beginning of the next week but what is exactly your email ?

    I'm getting this same problem on my Debian 2.2 (unstable) box. I can set an 'invalid' format %d/%m/%y which will display correctly in the list of items, but I can't insert or modify items until I set the format back to %x.
    By default, LANG=C on my box - changing it to LANG=en (or en_gb) results in a Gdk warning (Locale not supported by C library) when starting gnofin, and %x is still the only valid format.

    in the debian unstable, you must uncomment in the file
    /etc/locale.gen your locale for exemple (fr_FR) and run
    /usr/sbin/locale-gen

    That did the trick. My /etc/locale.gen was okay - just my thinking wasn't: en_gb *isn't* the same as en_GB :-( Gnofin is working fine now with %x (dd/mm/yy) or any order of %d %m %y.
    Cheers
