Well, there is no locale which gets you 24hr format and US style mm/dd/yy.  There are those that get you 24hr but they all have dd/mm/yy.  Even LC_TIME=C is that way.  :-(

I've failed to find a procedure, that works, to define and install a custom locale.  If that was available....

OK....  Short term pain I suppose.  It took me a while to find a theme that I liked and "worked".  Many of the themes look nice but fail to display the NetworkManager icons to set "Airplane Mode" and turn on/off Wireless.  Breeze, IMHO, is pretty ugly.  :-)
