gnome-shell clock applet needs menu option to change time
Last modified: 2010-10-16 20:40:25 UTC
The context menu for the gnome-shell clock applet has only "Preferences", but should have something like "Set the time" for convenience, which should launch time-admin. I have attached a simple patch for this for js/ui/prefs.js. Previously reported downstream with a debdiff at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/661106
Created attachment 172477 [details] [review] diff for /js/ui/panel.js
time-admin isn't shipped by all distributions. Maybe we should port the gnome-panel clock applet parts we need into the Shell's codebase?
Thanks for the patch. GNOME 3 system settings will have a way to set the date, time, and timezone. And we'll have a way to launch it form the clock dropdown: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Design/Whiteboards/DateNTime I believe David Zeuthen is working on implementing this mockup. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 582058 ***
