So I thought too, but then why does "date +%x", which should show "the
locale's date representation", give all 4 digits? This is very confusing.

In this case Windows does it right. I'll have yet to find the right
setting for Linux. But in the meantime: if I want a QTableView to render
QDate values in another format, a custom delegate is the way to go,
right? But which method? All the examples I've seen for overwritten
paint() methods seem unnecessary complicated for this sort of small change.
