Bug#340767: gdm and clock-applet use different date format

[Martin Michlmayr]

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.12.1-2
Severity: minor

I installed sarge, gdm was started automatically and told me the time
was:
    Wed Nov 16,  8:05
When I logged in, the clock-applet in the gnome-panel said:
    Wed 16 Nov, 20:05
(or the other way around, I cannot remember).

I just upgraded to GNOME 1.12 in experimental to see whether this is still
there.  While the situation has slightly improved (the time format is the same
now), the date is still displayed in a different way:

gdm:          Fri Nov 25,  6:55 PM
clock-applet: Fri 25 Nov,  6:55 PM
                  ^^^^^^

It would be nice if this was consistent.


Tested with:

ii  gnome-panel         2.12.1-2            launcher and docking facility for GNOME 2
ii  gdm                 2.8.0.6-1           GNOME Display Manager
