Do you really get that? Not Jun-10-2005?

Gnumeric calls nl_langinfo (D_FMT) to know the default date format.
In /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_GB, I have:

d_fmt       "<U0025><U0064><U002F><U0025><U006D><U002F><U0025><U0079>"

which is "%D/%M/%Y".

You should first check this line. If it is correct, it might be that
gnumeric has been compiled without langinfo support. In that case, when
running gnumeric from a terminal, you should get the following message:

Incomplete locale library, dates will be month day year

Hope this helps.
