Gnucash 2.4.11, OS X 10.6.8 (and 10.7.4)

Dear Peter,

I don't know whether you already solved your problem, but I have the same
trouble with the Dutch locale. It worked correctly under Snow Leopard in
Gnucash 2.4.8, then I tried 2.4.10 on another system which is running Lion
and the same files that were ok on the first system showed the wrong dates.
I continued to install 2.4.11 on the first system and voila, all the dates
changed back to the default US style. I'm using the following defaults:

{
    AppleLanguages =     (
        nl,
        en
    );
    AppleLocale = "nl_NL";
}

(see 
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Locale_Settings#Changing_the_Language_on_OSX
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Locale_Settings#Changing_the_Language_on_OSX 
on how to set these)

Hope anyone will pick this up, I will report it on the bugtracker, too.

Kind regards,

Titus Nachbauer

PS: as this is my first post to this list, please tell me if I made any
netiquette mistake.
