Thanks for figuring this out! I never would have guessed that it was a locale issue. I'm currently working on finding a way to eliminate the need for specifying a date/time format altogether, but if I can't do that then I'll definitely be using your patch.

I just migrated over to the mx.DateTime parser in the webkitui branch. Could one of you who is experiencing this problem with webkitui please give it a try with the latest revision and see if it still happens? If so, then I'll apply the locale switch fix. Thanks!

It's doesn't works, I update from Bazaar and installed and it gives the same error I use Kubuntu Hardy with Spanish locales.

Confirming the problem here too, with locale fr_CA. Seems the fix is not in version 0.7~bzr101~hardy~ppa1 , is it ? Any updated package available ?

Using 0.7~bzr151~intrepid~ppa0 , the bug doesn't seem to occur anymore (no need to switch to LC_ALL=C , it works under my fr_CA locale).
