Description Jonh Wendell 2008-01-30 14:29:34 UTC 
When I click on "Set" button in Locations section (new clock applet) nothing happens.

Was it supposed to open the preferences window?
Comment 1 Andreas Proschofsky 2008-02-04 11:26:02 UTC 
My guess is it should set your home location, which would be fabulous if only it would work (which here it does not, too)
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2008-02-15 18:40:11 UTC 
What system are you trying this on ? 

The mechanism to do this relies on dbus system-bus activation, which may not be available in your distribution.
Comment 3 Jonh Wendell 2008-02-15 19:57:38 UTC 
Hi. I'm using Ubuntu Hardy, with latest gnome-panel (2.21.91)
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2008-02-15 20:37:51 UTC 
Yes, but what dbus are you using ? Does it support system-bus activation ?
And is the clock mechanism installed ? (look for /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.gnome.ClockApplet.Mechanism.service)
Comment 5 Jonh Wendell 2008-02-15 20:53:30 UTC 
Yes, Hardy supports system-bus activation.

That file exists. Its content:
[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.gnome.ClockApplet.Mechanism
Exec=/usr/lib/gnome-panel/gnome-clock-applet-mechanism
User=root

Sebastien tells me it works now in hardy. Closing.
