Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

The locations panel in Clock 2.21.5 shows a house or home icon next to three cities in two different timezones. I guess it's meant to be next to my home? Why is it shown three times? There is no apparent way to change it.

See also bug 187215.

Description of problem:
I have 6 locations configured in intlclock, including 2 in my 'home timezone':
Mountain View and Los Angeles, CA.

The summary on the gnome panel indicates the weather in the second location (Los
Angeles), but when I place the cursor over the weather glyphs, it changes to the
first (Mountain View).

There seems no way to get it to 'know' that I am really in Mountain View and
would like that weather highlighted in the panel.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-panel-2.20.2-2.fc9

Yup

The odd thing, compared to the Redhat bug, is that Brisbane and Sydney are not in the same timezone. They do have the same basic gmt offset, but different dst rules.

The applet hasn't been dropped. It got upstreamed into the regular gnome-panel.
 Are you still seeing the bug?

calendar and weather.... no temperature

The bug occurred when the applet displayed weather/temperature when the cursor
was placed over the icon in the "system tray".

This version of the applet doesn't seem to do that. so I don't see it.

Should the applet display weather only when you "expand" the calendar and
locations?

Also, I don't get temperature listed unless I have cursor over "weather icon"
for the location

Latest version now shows temperature, but the old problem has returned:

If you enter 2 locations in the "local timezone", the temperature shown in the
"system tray" seems to be the "other" location.

Specifically, I'm in PST. I add a location for Mountain View, CA, and for Los
Angeles, CA. Both appear in the "detail pull down" with the nice "home" icon.

However, I did not find a way to tell the applet that my real "home" is
"Mountain View", not "Los Angeles".
