OK, I expected to get dd/mm/yy since it was using en_GB, so it's working as
I thought.  I looked here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country
and it appears that at first glance no country exists which uses 24 hour
time and mm/dd/yy so the actual code will need to be edited
rather than making a copy... I'll take a shot at that and post.

I am on travel with just my laptop (that I need) so can't install Plasma5
here with me.  You might consider installing GNOME and giving it a shot.
There was another instance I ran into where KDE couldn't do something but
if you did it in GNOME the settings were picked up and displayed correctly
in KDE.  If it were to work a temporary workaround could be for people to
install GNOME to do the configuration.
