So, you mean it's not a good default? But at least a hint 
and the possibility to configure CTYPE in YaST would be 
nice for those useres that don't read this mailinglist. 
It's probably a common pitfall for the small community of 
CJ-bilinguals.

Definitively wrong. In Switzerland (and I suppose in Germany 
too), day is always before month and time is separated with 
a single dot. KDE does it right, it declares time as: 
"SS.MM:SEKSEK" and date as: "WOCHENTAG, tT. MONAT JJJJ" and 
short date as: "tT mM. JJ" (that's wrong AFAIK, day is 
always followed by a dot). So, with de_CH, your example 
should probably render to:
