It was sorted, I ran the redhat-config-language app, which is just a
fancy gui for setting the language used by t he system to mine (NZ)
rather than the default US (which is my fault as I should have done this
when I installed rh8)

And then in gnucash set the date format to locale...

But yes, who in their right mind would have thought the month is a more
important distinguisher than the day of the month?  It's kind of like
maths isn't it, imagine if "5.1 units of X" meant "one and a half units
of X"

It's just bizarre...
