I live in the Netherlands and the 24h format for time. The time of messages
is in the 12h format and I can't seem to change this anywhere

Looks like this is the cause:
in MsnClientConfig.cs:

public MsnClientConfig ()
        {
            //TODO: is TwoLetterISORegionName the correct value?
            // What's PLCID for?

            RegionInfo regionInfo = RegionInfo.CurrentRegion;
            if (regionInfo == null)
                regionInfo = new RegionInfo ("US");

            _args = string.Format ("?op=GetClientConfig&Country={0}&CLCID={1:x4}&PLCID={2:x4}",
                                   regionInfo.TwoLetterISORegionName, // For now, to protect
against issues.
                                   CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.LCID,
                                   0);

            //Log.Debug (_args);

            RequestConfig (delegate { });
        }

Looks like region defaults to US which uses 12h time

The region there is just used to retrieve the client config which gives us some
vaguely useful URLs.

TextMessageDisplay.WriteTime is where the time is written out using 
ToShortTimeString
which should take the culture into account according to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.toshorttimestring.aspx

My guess is that Mono isn't detecting the correct culture information.

we simply need an option somewhere to specify the format manually, because 
there are
people like me, who live in an area where they use 24h format but use an English
version of Linux with 12h format as the default

(technically you are able to set the language to English and all the other 
locale
settings to something else, but this takes some effort to configure properly :p)

so, in other words: use the default locale time format, unless the time format 
is
specifically set to something else
