clock applet: localized date display format is strange

[ken3]

Unfortunately the translation entry for the date format (in po file) was marked fuzzy and c-format,
so it was discarded when making corresponding gmo file.

ex) [po/ja.po]
#. Translators: This is a strftime format string.
#. * It is used to display the date. Replace %e with %d if, when
#. * the day of the month as a decimal number is a single digit,
#. * it should begin with a 0 in your locale (e.g. "May 01"
#. * instead of "May 1").
#: applets/clock/clock.c:477
#, fuzzy, c-format
#| msgid "%a %b %e"
msgid "%a %b %e"
msgstr "%b%e日 (%a)"

Expected behaviour

Date order should be month, day, day-of-the-week in ja locale.

Actual behaviour

Date order becomes day-of-the-week, month, day in ja locale.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

1. Set system locale to ja_JP.UTF-8.
2. Login with mate desktop.
3. Show clock applet on the menu bar.
