I don't think this helps.  I recently asked a similar question about
date formats and got no responses (except for a me too -- thanks
poc ;) )  The locale stuff affects the way the format elements are
displayed, not which format elements are used.  You can't use the
LC_TIME to change the display from 12 to 24 hour or to suppress
today/yesterday.

What I want is an option that allows me to specify a strftime format for
the timestamp.  

Hmmm...  this isn't lurking on one of the xml files (like the keyboard
shortcuts are) somewhere by any chance?
