Comment 32 for bug 1160441

It's fine that you are able to change the appearance to your liking. :) By selecting France for the regional formats, you get a French locale all through, i.e. what the installer used to deliver before the change. Possibly, in your case, that's what you want, also with respect to date/time formats, currency, numbers, etc.

I for one can't help wondering why the indicator-datetime version in my PPA didn't make a difference for you. :(

Thanks!
