Fire up your shell, and type in gconf-editor. Then, on the left, select Apps --> panel --> applets --> applet0 --> prefs (This was slightly different for me between two different machines. It might be ...applets --> clock_screen0 --> prefs.) First you want to right click on 'format' on the right side of the gconf-editor, and select 'Edit Key'. In the dialogue box that comes up, enter 'custom' (without the quotes). Then click ok. Next, you will need to enter 'custom_format' (about 6 entries above 'format'). Again, right click and select 'Edit Key'. Here you will enter <b>%a %b %d, %l:M %p</b> and click ok. This will get you a format such as Thu Jan 28, 12:20. If you prefer a different format, look at some of the options available in the date man page.
