In that
thread, I was informed that Tbird only considers the gnome settings,
so fixing the KDE settings was not affecting it.

So then, How do I change Gnome to use YYYY/MM/DD?
In Windows I always change to ISO standard, now that I noticed that US
is default that is bugging me.

Perhaps these will help. May need some experimentation:

I think setting export LC_TIME=en_DK before running Thunderbird would
get you roughly what you want. At lease, it worked for me.
