You mean the GnomeDateEdit widget?

You use gnome_date_edit_get_date() to get the time_t value.

Then use the standard localtime() or gmtime() functions to turn
that into a struct tm, which you can format with strftime.
Or use ctime() to get a formatted date string from the time_t.
See the man pages for these.
