Intlclock
Just wanted to show off how awesome the new GNOME clock is:
Pay no attention that it's 1:29 in three places thing, I'm pretty sure that's just a bug. :p

At least it shows that it's 1:29 +1 or 1:29 -5
You know, KDE's clock does the math for you, to make your life easier :-)

I'm using Hardy at home, but have not saw this yet. You must be running GNOME from the repository, right? *anxious*

I'm confused - that clock panel is almost erotic.
Man I want me some intlclock loving!

Jorge, I'm running the new clock applet and it sets the times correctly in each timezone. Not sure why its not working for you.
@Wolfger: Wow! KDE's clock can really do that?! That's awesome. We should make every GNOME user's life easier by having them switch to KDE so they can tell the time. Yay!!

I've seen this in the past and have been eagerly awaiting a Gutsy deb for it. Now that I have it installed I notice a few issues.
First, and most alarmingly, the time reported by this applet and the time reported by the regular Gnome clock (when they are sitting side by side) are different. They must be using different time sources? Odd...
Second, the text sits lower in this new applet than in the Gnome clock and characters that descend below the baseline (like J an January) are truncated.
Otherwise, the new location features look very nice.

Its a clock. Please, for those of us that just want a clock/calendar, don't make things worse. Each time I click for the calendar, I get a 5 second delay. Expanding Locations gives me no delay. Please make it the other way around.
strace reveals that it rereads all the svg's. strace also reveals that gnome-panel really likes making system calls. (read from inotify 8000/s, gettimeofday; 10000/s)
Maybe the delay is related to the calendar and not the locations/weather thing.

Awesome and memory hog.
Not to mention that there's at least 3 or 4 versions of intlclock depending on the distro.

procolino: This is pretty much the same features in the intlclock fork created by the guys at Novell. It is now merged back and included in upstream gnome-panel as of 2.21.5, so intlclock is no longer needed (at least with GNOME 2.22)

That's a really pretty clock. But, I do wonder how it is on resources. gnome-panels can be so heavy sometimes; how's performance so far?

"Pay no attention that it's 1:29 in three places thing, I'm pretty sure that's just a bug."
I used this applet since few months on my Debian box. So i think there's a problem in Ubuntu !
Have a look if you want on the screenshot !
