Description shensche 2009-05-12 09:13:38 UTC 
i like the idea of seeing the current time in the lock dialog. sometimes i just want to see the time on my computer after i had been busy doing things somewhere else. at the moment i have to unlock the screen to do that.

Other information:
first bug report here, so i hope i can attach pach files. i extended user on host by the time, so the format string reads: %U on %h (%t) where %t is expanded to the time in the printf format %02d:%02d

Actually I think I'd prefer it to display as an overlay over the theme.
