Can set a custom date format with
$ gconf-editor

Find clock applet among about 5 applets.
Change for example 2006-04-16 16:39 Sun w15
custom_format: "%x %H:%M %a w%W"
format: "custom"
Clock format changes immidiately.

When format is "custom", Clock applet, right click: Preferences shows a dialog to edit custom format. This only works once, after that it must be edited in gconf-editor.

Copy date does not work.

I did not yet find a way to put short localized date in it: "%x %X" shows seconds, even if show seconds is not selected, and even if 'ls' shows only minutes with the same LC_DATE.
