Hi,

First, thanks for your quick answer !

In the Greeter, I choose:

- "Language" > "Français (France)"
- "Formats" > "United States (English)"

Then in the session have a UI in french, a french calendar, but I use US
units (inches, letter paper, ...).

Let's try to switch to US calendar:

"Settings" > "Region & Language" > "Formats" > "United States (English)"

GNOME asks to restart for the changes to take effect. When I click on
"Restart" nothing happens.

So I see no way to change the calendar to US once logged.

But there is a trick (no idea how easy it would be to implement that
this is triggered by whatever DBus communication GNOME Settings do when
clicking "Restart"):

    $ export LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
    $ gnome-shell -r


Cheers
