pidgin ignores system time settings regarding 24/12h clock

[Kallewoof]

Binary package hint: pidgin

I've set GNOME to display a 24h clock, and while it does, pidgin still shows am/pm. pidgin has no settings to define 12/24, so I'm left to presume it depends on the desktop system to find out what the user wants. In this case, it's not realizing I want 24h clock.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Do you get the same with Lucid or Maverick? Thanks in advance.
