Are you certain thout that this particular application is using "%x"?
Are you also certain this application is calling setlocale(3)?

If so then you should consider running it on FreeBSD.  :-)

I've just noticed/remembered that not only does NetBSD not (yet) come
with any LC_TIME definitions, and NetBSD's setlocale(3) completely, and
silently ignores all of the LC_* categories except LC_CTYPE and
LC_MESSAGES, even in -current.

On FreeBSD (since 2.2?) it all works as expected (this from 4.9-RC):

	$ LANG=sv_SE.ISO8859-1 date '+%A (%a), %B (%b) %d [%x]'
	Onsdag (Ons), December (Dec) 03 [2003-12-03]
