GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 338110
integrate clock with non-e-d-s backends (sunbird, akonadi, etc.)
Last modified: 2020-11-07 12:15:17 UTC
Currently the GNOME clock applet has a nice integration with Evolution for browsing appointments and the to-do list. Now, please integrate the applet with KDE's Korganizer/Kontact. The same issue filed in KDE's tracker: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125055 Interesting reference: http://pim.kde.org/akonadi/
First of all - you do realise that the bug in the KDE bugzilla is exactly the same as this one? One would perhaps expect that you'd want the KDE clock applet to read Evoluton's TODO:s. Anyway... AFAIK, this is currently done by Evolution-data-server, and I think it will be highly untrivial to integrate the KDE equivalent into gnome-panel... Probably even impossible... And personally - I don't really see the need here - the price you pay for using apps from different desktops is that you miss these nice little integration bits, such as this one...

Yes, and hopefully someone on either side will take it up. >One would perhaps expect that you'd want the KDE clock applet >to read Evoluton's TODO:s. Well, I happen to prefer GNOME, but Kontact/Korganizer has good integration with calendar systems and groupware. >Anyway...

The <http://pim.kde.org/akonadi/> project implies it is possible. > And personally - I don't really see the need here - the price you pay for using > apps from different desktops is that you miss these nice little integration > bits, such as this one... I assume that's what someone said a few years ago about KDE and GNOME applications applying themes from the other desktop environment, but we have that now.
I created a bug related to this one (Bug 384783 – launch another evolution-data-server based application, like dates). In that case the integration is much easier because the application already uses the evolution-data-server as backend.
Err, if akonadi will be able to do what it's supposed to do, then we'll have nothing to do since evolution-data-server will read the akonadi data...
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/9656/ seems to answer to the sunbird request.
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old feature requests in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years. If you still use gnome-panel and if you are still requesting this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/ Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be implemented.
