Comment 1 Luis Villa 2002-05-17 05:06:11 UTC 
Kang: is this clock-applet specific or is it a problem with the entire
panel? If the second, that is a different bug [bug 79342].
Comment 2 kz 2002-05-17 07:59:42 UTC 
I think it's first, clock specific.
Comment 3 Gediminas Paulauskas 2002-09-03 12:14:12 UTC 
One solution is to remove the border. I have done this for myself,
because with border clock does not fit into small (24px) panel.

The border is needed only for padding between applets, and not needed
between applet and panel edge. This can be accomplished by taking
pangolayout and adding a couple of pixels of width for horizontal
panels, or height for vertical ones. This was done being done for (now
gone) foobar clock.
Comment 4 Mark McLoughlin 2003-01-06 05:50:40 UTC 
yeah, the border is gone now
Comment 5 Jim Braux-Zin 2006-01-08 17:06:35 UTC 
I'm not sure but I think I have the same problem: when I set a custom background for my gnome-panel (with no transparency) then the clock applet looks fine but if log off I can see a grey square around it, and I must go again into properties and  change the color to get it normal.

I didn't understand the fix proposed.

I use gnome 2.12 in Ubuntu Breezy Badger

Jim: this is not the same issue. And your issue might be fixed in HEAD :-)
