I like current behaviour: when I need dates I prefer format NNNNJ MMMM AAAA and
it not very easy to type "dimanche 15 novembre 2009" instead of 15/11/09 as I
should do if I had to type the same thing that which is displayed.

I suggest to give the user the possibility to define an "input date format"
which have to be distinguished from "display date format".
Input date format would be defined in Tools > Options > Language settings >
Languages, in similar way than decimal separator, but with an input field and a
default value equal to the locale standard.
It should be also important that this input date format would be displayed (read
only) in each dialog where the user can define a display date format, so that he
would be aware of the difference.
