/usr/bin/cal changelog
(via)since the upgrade to lucid lynx, my computer throws "cal: option requires an argument -- 'm'" at me when I invoke "cal -m" to specify I'd love to have the week starting on monday.
""Proper" honoring of LC_TIME mixing it with command line options" says the changelog.
I spot that those LC_* settings are actually pointing the library towards a data chunk located in /usr/lib/locale/<language setting, e.g. en_DK.utf8>/<subset, e.g. LC_TIME, LC_MONETARY, etc.>
Thunderbird date-format problem
(via)export LC_TIME=en_GB is what you need to keep your C locale, but have day/month/year date format. You can even directly set it in /usr/lib/thunderbird-x.y.z/thunderbird.sh to avoid messing up with other programs.
