Date format trouble (locale)

Hi,
I'm stuck with dates. For my KDE desktop I'm using my proper locale
(nl_NL) with a short date (DD-MM-YY).
With this format I can't enter dates 1990 and earlier. KMyMoney wil take
that as 2090.
I've looked at other locales having YYYY-MM-DD. But obviously that gives
a host of other issues.
Unfortunately KDE doesn't provide a personalized date setting. So I'm
stuck with what I get.
What would be the next course of action?
1. Is there a work around available? E.g. start KMM from the command
line with specific locale settings?
2. Raise a feature request on KMM to provide date formats independent
of KDE? Which would not be unreasonable. There is a fair case to
have your financial dates not be bothered with your environment.
3. Raise a "change request" on KMM to re-assess date interpretation.
4. Raise a feature request on KDE to provide personalized date formats?
I'm hoping for (1), but leaning towards (4). Opinions welcome!
Thanks,
Koos
