Is there a way to set this up globally? I am using Fedora 7 with the latest KDE available for this distribution.
In the ./share/config/kdeglobals file, you can set the option there. You will have to add the locale portion of the file, and make it immutable. You can look in your personal file for the settings ($HOME/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals). Mine looks like this

DateFormat=%A %B %e %Y
DateFormatShort=%d/%m/%Y
Language=en_US

Set your kde settings the way that you want them to appear, copy and paste it into the global file ($KDEDIR/share/config/kdeglobals) and put [$i] after the [Locale] portion to make it reset on each login. I don't know if that will prevent the users from changing it, but it should set it on each login.
Let me know if that works. If not, I'll dig deeper.
